| Summary | "The Continental Monthly, Vol. 1, No. 1, January 1862" by Various is a periodical publication devoted to literature and national policy, written during the mid-19th century. This journal reflects the socio-political climate of its time, particularly focusing on themes related to the American Civil War, the national debate over slavery, and various cultural essays. The contents showcase discussions and literary contributions from prominent intellectuals and writers of that era, addressing contemporary issues and the literary landscape. The opening of this volume presents a detailed exploration of the political situation leading up to the Civil War. It begins with "The Situation," an analysis of the conspiracy against the national integrity of the United States, spotlighting figures like John C. Calhoun and the South's ambitions. The author discusses how both the Southern conspirators and Northern abolitionists were entrenched in their positions, ultimately neglecting the ramifications of their actions on the nation's unity. This introductory piece sets the tone for a deep dive into the complexities of American society during this tumultuous period, making readers aware of the ideological battles that defined the era.
