About This Book

The author presents a detailed account of an alleged northern conspiracy during the Civil War era, assembling testimony and documents that claim coordinated plans to burn cities, liberate Confederate prisoners, seize arsenals, and employ raids from Canada and piracy on the Great Lakes. He examines the organization and rituals of a clandestine society called the Sons of Liberty, names purported members across Midwestern states, and recounts the military commission trials that revealed testimony and arrests. Chapters alternate between narrative allegations, lists of implicated individuals, and commentary on political affiliations and the perceived threat posed by secret political orders.
