Produced by David Widger "The Great Conspiracy, Volume 6" by John Alexander Logan is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. It focuses on the intricate events surrounding American Civil War politics, particularly President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation and the subsequent fight to enshrine emancipation in the Constitution. The narrative likely examines key battles, legislation, and the roles played by various political factions during this tumultuous period. At the start of the book, the narrative delves into President Lincoln's unwavering support for the Emancipation Proclamation and the necessity of incorporating it into the United States Constitution to safeguard the freedoms of emancipated individuals. The opening recounts pivotal military victories for the Union, such as Gettysburg and Vicksburg, which shifted the national sentiment towards hope. However, it also highlights the opposition from Democrats and sympathizers of the Confederacy, culminating in violent draft riots in New York City. Lincoln's subsequent appeals for congressional action, the debate around the Thirteenth Amendment, and eloquent speeches emphasize the urgency and complexity of these issues, setting the stage for the political machinations and social struggles that defined the era.
