(George Washington) Political Recollections 1840 to 1872 Produced by Ed Ferris "Political Recollections" by George W. Julian is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the evolution of anti-slavery politics from 1840 to 1872, offering insight into the key events, personalities, and political dynamics that shaped the era. The focus is on the development of anti-slavery sentiments and their impact on American politics, emphasizing both the struggles and achievements in this pivotal chapter of U.S. history. At the start of the work, the author reflects on his early political life as a Whig during the 1840 Harrison campaign, highlighting the atmosphere of political corruption and the initial emergence of slavery as an issue in American politics. Julian shares his youthful perspective, describing the vibrant mass gatherings and political fervor of the era, illustrating how the campaign was less about serious political reform and more a spectacle of mass enthusiasm. He notes the characters involved, including General Harrison and Martin Van Buren, while setting the stage for the growing influence of anti-slavery movements that would later dominate the national discourse, framing a historical narrative rich with personal anecdotes and critical observations.
