Summary "The Continental Monthly, Vol. 2 No 4, October, 1862" by Various is a periodical publication consisting of essays, articles, and literary pieces written during the mid-19th century. This particular volume touches on themes prevalent during the American Civil War, including national policy and the impact of the rebellion on the Constitution and the Union. The likely audience of this work includes those interested in American history, politics, and literature of the Civil War era. The opening of this volume features a powerful critique of the phrase "The Constitution as it is—the Union as it was," often invoked during the Civil War. The author discusses how this rallying cry is manipulated to mislead the public regarding the obligation to suppress the rebellion and argues that treating with rebels undermines the integrity of the nation. By emphasizing the duty of the government to use military force against the rebellion, the text sets a bold tone for the subsequent discussions found in the volume, which will likely engage readers with its passionate defense of the Union and a clear condemnation of the forces that threaten it.
