| Summary |
"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 1, No. 3, March 1862" is a periodical journal produced during the mid-19th century, curated by various authors. This volume contains a rich compilation of articles focusing on literature and national policy at a time when the United States was embroiled in the Civil War. The discussions center on the implications of the war, particularly the dynamics between the Northern and Southern states, the evolving thoughts on slavery, and the emerging societal trends. The opening of this volume begins with an analysis of the pressing question regarding Southern states' allegiance and the potential for a counter-revolution in regions like Appalachia. The text discusses the complexities of the conflict, suggesting that the mountains in the South harbor loyalists to the Union who may rise against Confederate powers. It presents statistical evidence illustrating demographic trends regarding free versus enslaved populations within these regions, arguing that the North holds advantages that could spell success in the conflict ahead. Overall, the introductory segment establishes a tone of debate over the future of the Union, portraying a conflict at both a geographic and ideological level, highlighting individual counties and their roles in the broader narrative of the Civil War.
