War was now fully inaugurated--Civil War--a stupendous War between two great Sections of one common Country; those of our People, on the one side, fighting for the dissolution of the Union--and incidentally for Free Trade, and for Slavery; those on the other side, fighting for the preservation of the Union--and incidentally for Protection to our Free Industries, and for the Freedom of the Slave. As soon as the Republican Party controlled both Houses of Congress it provided Protection to our Free Industries, and to the Free Labor engaged in them, by the Morill Tariff Act of 1860--the foundation Act of all subsequent enactments on the subject. In subsequent pages of this work we shall see how the Freedom of the Slave was also accomplished by the same great Party.
