Summary "Diary from March 4, 1861, to November 12, 1862" by Adam Gurowski is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work provides a firsthand perspective on the tumultuous period of the American Civil War, chronicling Gurowski's observations and reflections as he witnesses the political and military developments of the time. The diary delves into the intricacies of governance during a national crisis, examining figures such as Presidents Lincoln and Scott, along with various political maneuvers related to the war. The opening of the diary introduces the reader to Gurowski’s thoughts on President Lincoln's inauguration and the challenges faced by the new administration. He notes the indecision and lack of foresight among government officials, particularly concerning the burgeoning conflict in the South. With sharp criticism, Gurowski analyzes the dynamics of Lincoln's Cabinet and their responses to rising treason, expressing a strong belief that the political landscape will lead to a significant and complex struggle, reminiscent of the French Revolution. His passionate observations foreshadow the intense debates and deliberations that will characterize the war, as well as reflect the broader social implications of the conflict over slavery and national unity.
