Description

TitleLetter from Ellen A. Beatty to Samuel Blanchard Howe - December 10, 1860
Date Created1860-12-10
Subject
DescriptionLetter from Ellen Beatty, in Florida to the Rev. Samuel Blanchard How in New Brunswick, NJ. The letter gives her belief about the South's feelings about seccession. She described the South's attitudes of discount for the Union as "not a sudden contrast of feeling" but as one "growing among the masses both rich and poor from year to year." She said the Southern peoples' minds "are fully made up that this is the time" to secede. The letter goes on to tell that the only way seccesion can be stopped is by Congress repealing all unconstitutional legislation and promising in the future to not interfere with the South's livelihood. She ended by saying the South and the North are no longer a "homogeneous nation" and that South was willing to fight to defend its rights.
