"The Continental Monthly, Vol. 1, No. 4, April, 1862" by Various is a magazine about stories and politics during the Civil War. This edition looks at important historical and political topics of the time, mainly the war regarding slavery in Missouri. It shows what it was like during the American Civil War, highlighting the important political people and arguments about slavery and the growing conflict between people who wanted to stay in the Union and people who wanted to leave. The author starts by examining the connection between people taking sides and historical stories during the Civil War, especially in Missouri. It thinks about how hard it is to write history in the moment without being impartial. It tells of the increase of pro-slavery feelings in Missouri's politics and shows how people like Senator Thomas H. Benton, who disagreed with secession, lost favor. The beginning prepares the reader to understand Missouri's important part in the Civil War and the larger conflict between freedom and slavery.
