States civil war. All these pieces of legislation were passed, at least in significant measure, because senators absented themselves from the United States congress. And again, because American People voted republicans into office in 1860. Creek part of the civil war . It is an outgrowth of the civil war. It is an outgrowth of the same mechanisms and processes that that burst birthed the civil war, but also features civil war soldiers. United states soldiers on the payroll, who are mustered into the union army. Again, i wasnt being entirely glib when i said yes, i think t is. Is it as central a part of the civil war story as some of the events that others will be talking about here . No, i dont think it is. I dont want to overstate my claim. That is not the kind of historian that i am. But i do think it is a very important story and its worth telling. Thank you all again very much.
