Herbert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the complex and multi-faceted subject of the abolition movement in the United States, detailing the events and consequences that shaped America during and after the era of slavery, covering four significant periods from the anti-slavery crusade through the Civil War and Reconstruction. The book aims to provide a perspective on Northern and Southern sentiments surrounding slavery, abolition, and the constitutional implications of these issues. The opening of the book sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of the author's personal reflections on the abolition movement and the broader historical context. Herbert introduces himself as a former Confederate soldier who changed his views on slavery after the Civil War and underscores his commitment to understanding both sides of the conflict. He discusses the various historical periods that will be examined, emphasizing the importance of fairness in recounting these events, and encourages readers from both the North and South to appreciate the complexities of their shared history. Herbert articulates the notion that the errors committed by both sides during the antebellum years must be recognized to prevent the repetition of similar mistakes in the future. This reflective introduction serves as a foundation for the historical narrative that follows, which interrogates the causes and effects of the abolition movement within the larger framework of American history.
