Summary: "The Continental Monthly, Vol. 5, No. 3, March, 1864" by Various is a historical periodical published in the mid-19th century. This volume is devoted to a diverse range of topics including literature, national policy, and societal issues, reflecting the various facets of American life and thought during the Civil War era. It features contributions from notable figures such as Hon. Robert J. Walker, addressing subjects like American finances and the impacts of the Civil War, with a focus on social dynamics, economic conditions, and philosophical reflections on freedom and slavery. At the start of this volume, the focus is primarily on an in-depth analysis of American finances during the tumultuous period of the Civil War. The opening section presents a letter from Robert J. Walker, who argues that while the war has caused significant economic losses, the long-term benefits of ending slavery and transitioning to a system of free labor will ultimately outweigh those costs. He provides statistical comparisons between Southern states like Maryland and Northern states such as Massachusetts to illustrate the detrimental effects of slavery on economic growth and population. This discussion sets the tone for the publication, which aims to engage readers in critical thought about the pressing issues of the time, such as the moral implications of slavery and the future of the nation following the war.
