In the early months of 1861, the Northern people were overwhelmingly opposed to military coercion of the seceded Southern States. Such was the general feeling when Abraham Lincoln took office, assuring the public of his pacific intentions in his first inaugural address. However, as the author of this little book proves from the U.S. Government's own official records, while the Confederate Peace Commissioners were being stalled in Washington with promises of the evacuation of troops from Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, Lincoln was secretly working behind the scenes to reinforce the fort in order to force the South to fire the first shot and thus "put the rebellion in the wrong."

Seller's Description:
New. Lincoln's War Conspiracy. 5.5 x 8.75. This is from the back cover of the book: "The United States Government and Abraham Lincoln began the war by committing at least four flagrant acts of war, against two vital points in the South, weeks before Fort Sumter was fired on. That these acts were secret, and the most treacherous known to civilized diplomacy, does not weaken the force of the facts. The secrecy emphasizes the treachery...There was a solemn agreement, an armistice, existing at Charleston, entered into by the United States Government and South Carolina officials on December 6th, 1860; and a special agreement, armistice, at Pensacola, entered into by the United States and Florida authorities on January 29th, 1861, -(both filed in United States War and Navy Departments)-by which the United States agreed not to attempt to reinforce Major Anderson, nor Fort Pickens; and South Carolina, Florida and the Confederate authorites, agreed to make no attack on Major Anderson, or Fort Pickens, while these solemn agreements were observed. To violate an armistice is considered a treacherous act of war..." The author "...began to scour the official records compiled by the U.S. Government and uncovered how Abraham Lincoln and his co-conspirators used deceit and violated international law to instigate war in early 1861, while laying the blame on the South. Writing in 1917, Johnstone had access to documentation which was not available when other post-war Confederates wrote their own histories of the conflict."
