"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 1, No. 4, April, 1862" by Various is a periodical publication from the mid-19th century, notably focused on literature and national policy. This volume features articles that delve into significant historical and political themes of the period, including the war over slavery in Missouri. It reflects the tumultuous era of the American Civil War, highlighting key political figures and debates surrounding the institution of slavery and the emerging conflict between Unionist and secessionist sentiments. At the start of this issue, the author examines the complexities surrounding the interplay of partisanship and historical narrative during the Civil War, particularly in Missouri. The piece contemplates the challenges of writing contemporary history with impartiality, as personal stakes and loyalties inevitably color one's perspective. In particular, it discusses the rise of pro-slavery sentiments within Missouri's political landscape and traces the downfall of notable figures like Senator Thomas H. Benton, who opposed the growing influence of secessionist thinking. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Missouri's pivotal role in the Civil War and the broader implications of the conflict between freedom and slavery.
