Preface. The purpose of this history of the Revolution is to use the original authorities rather more frankly than has been the practice with our historians. They appear to have thought it advisable to omit from their narratives a great deal which, to me, seems essential to a true picture. I cannot feel satisfied with any description of the Revolution which treats the desire for independence as a sudden thought, and not a long growth and development, or which assumes that every detail of the conduct of the British government was absurdly stupid, even from its own point of view, and that the loyalists were few in numbers and their arguments not worth considering. I cannot see any advantage in not describing in their full meaning and force the smuggling, the buying of laws from the governors, and other irregular conduct in the colonies which led England to try to remodel them as soon as the fear of the French in Canada was removed. Nor can I accept a description which fails to reveal the salient details of the great controversy over the rather peculiar methods adopted by General Howe to suppress the rebellion.

The attention of government, the debates of Congress, the public press, and the thoughts of the people, have been almost exclusively occupied, for the last five or six years, by questions of law and policy, arising out of the all-absorbing topic of slavery. To understand that subject, however, we must go deeper. Slavery does not rest on the Constitution or laws as a basis, but they on it. It is not the creature, but the director of our policy. It is a permanent, commanding flict in our country, and may not be disregarded. To manage it rightly, is the great problem of our politics, for it has power over us and our destiny. Slavery has a nature of its own, according to which we must shape our measures, if we would be safe and prosper. What is that nature ? <strong>...</strong></p>
