Early Plans of ReconstructionXXII. Congressional ReconstructionSample passage:The effect of the firing on Fort Sumter was magical throughout the North. Millions who had hesitated were now ready to decide for the Union. Two days after the fall of Sumter President Lincoln issued a call for seventy-five thousand men and the response was hearty from every part of the free states. Men forgot their party differences and rushed to arms to save the Union. In the South the effect of the fall of Sumter was similar to that in the North. The Southern people saw by Lincoln’s call to arms that he meant to coerce the seceding states. This awakened them to resistance, and it was in the following weeks that the last four of the Confederate states seceded from the Union—Virginia, North Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee. The people of Virginia now seized the United States arsenal at Harper’s Ferry and the Navy Yard near Norfolk, the value of which was $10,000,000. The seizures of the Confederacy now reached the grand total of $40,000,000.After the fall of Fort Sumter it was plain to the world that there would be war between the two great sections of our country. For many years there had been ceaseless quarreling between them; now there was to be an appeal to the sword, with all its baleful results.About the Author:Henry William Elson (1857-1935) was a professor of history at Ohio State University. Other works include “Side Lights on American History” and “Four Great American Presidents.”

A CABIN. A cabin in the woods. In the cabin a great fire place piled high with logs, fiercely ablaze. On either side of the broad hearthstone a hound sat on his haunches, looking gravely, as only a hound in a meditative mood can, into the glowing fire. In the center of the cabin, whose every nook and corner was bright with the ruddy firelight, stood a wooden table, strongly built and solid. At the table sat John Norton, poring over a book, a book large of size, with wooden covers bound in leather, brown with age, and smooth as with the handling of many generations. The whitened head of the old man was bowed over the broad page, on which one hand rested, with the forefinger marking the sentence. A cabin in the woods filled with firelight, a table, a book, an old man studying the book. This was the scene on Christmas Eve. Outside, the earth was white with snow, and in the blue sky above the snow was the white moon.
