The book claims that the Republican Party and Abraham Lincoln were traitors to The People's Government. Even JOHN WILKES BOOTH "was noted for his generous, manly deportment, and was dearly beloved by all his associates" and made out to be a genuine Southern hero. According to this book, following the killing of Booth, his body was taken to Washington, and the savage gloated over it with cannibal ferocity. They not only refused to turn the body over to his weeping mother, but they tore out its entrails, and threw them to the hogs. His skull was placed in some museum, his heart preserved in spirits, his spinal column given to some medical college, while the balance of his remains were deposited no one knows where.
When John Brown was tried and executed, his remains were placed in a decent coffin and handed over to his friends. While its history is quite bias and angry, it offers a perspective on what millions of Americans believed at the time with its unconventional yet interesting historic perspective of the Civil War.
