Book Description

Excerpt from To the People of Virginia!: John Letcher and His Antecedents; Read and Circulate It will be seen from the above correspondence, that Dr. Ruff ner was informed by Mr. Letcher, and others, that it was not expected that he would furnish the speech precisely as it was delivered - nor did they desire that he should confine himself strictly to the views therein expressed. But, on the contrary, he was requested to furnish the whole argument in favor of at once taking steps to bring about a division of the Commonwealth of Virginia, chiefly, if not only because of their violent opposition to slavery.
