OLD BOOK REVIEW

     Nullification, Secession, Webster's Argument, and the Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions by Caleb William Loring, published by G. P. Putnam's sons in 1893.

     I read it this in the last few days.  A political work, designed to appeal to the political minded public of the day.  Written to both educate and help defeat the ideas, propagated by Southerners, concerning the legality of Southern actions of Nullification and Secession.

Grover Norquist's "Starve the Beast" idea foretold
Preparations for the Civil War Happened Earlier Than Most Realize, Including Preparing Forts for Seizure
Early Public Relations by Senator Calhoun
Southern General Lee on Secession
