Speeches On The Conscription; The Way To Attain And Secure Peace; And On Arming The Negroes (1863) is a book that contains three speeches delivered by W.D. Kelley during the American Civil War. The first speech is about the Conscription Act of 1863, which required all able-bodied men between the ages of 20 and 45 to serve in the Union Army. Kelley argues against the act, stating that it is unconstitutional and infringes on personal liberty. The second speech is about the way to attain and secure peace during the war. Kelley argues that the only way to end the conflict is through emancipation and the abolition of slavery, as it is the root cause of the war. He also advocates for the Union to negotiate with the Confederacy to end the fighting.The third speech is about arming the Negroes, or African Americans, to fight in the Union Army. Kelley argues that it is a necessary step towards winning the war and ending slavery. He believes that African Americans are just as capable as white men in fighting for their freedom and that it is a moral imperative to allow them to do so.Overall, Speeches On The Conscription; The Way To Attain And Secure Peace; And On Arming The Negroes (1863) provides a glimpse into the political and social climate of the Civil War era and the debates surrounding the war effort.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
