Title
Why Was Wendell Phillips Feted at White House
Subject
Republican Party (U.S. : 1854- )
Description
The Democratic editor of the Walla Walla Washington Statesman takes issue with the Lincoln administration's warm welcome for abolitionist Wendell Phillips.
The argument is that Philips was a fanatic, who was the "boasting destroyer of the union," willing to sacrifice the United States to a single principle.
Abstract
The Democratic editor of the Washington Statesman, Walla Walla, inquires rhetorically why abolitionist Wendell Phillips was received and entertained at the White House by President Abraham Lincoln. The editor argues that "Old Hickory," Andrew Jackson would be shocked and appalled.
