The American Ten Years' War

Excerpt from The American Ten Years War, 1855-1865: Contemplating these events we have to ask ourselves: Is here a mere local trouble, a border foray of outlaws, or is this Spirit getting to be general in the South? Is the ballot, the great anglo-saxon instrumentality for obviating violence, to be set aside by violence? Is the majority no longer to rule in this country? If so, war must come, since the means of all peaceful settlement between contending parties is broken into fragments and scattered to the winds. Ominous of 1861 is already 1855 in Kansas.
