This little book is a compilation of three essays. The first is a speech which was delivered by the author at the unveiling of a Confederate monument in Richmond in 1894 and offers a concise but clear statement of the causes that led up to the war between the North and the South. The second refutes the popular misrepresentations of the social conditions existing in the South before the war, focusing on the allegedly widespread maltreatment of the Negro slaves by their Southern masters. The third is an excellent synopsis of the centuries' old struggle between the "Cavalier" and the "Puritan," both in the Old World and in the New, which eventually erupted in the travesty of the sectional conflict that left the constitutional Union in ruins.

While serving as the minister of Central Christian Church in St. Louis, Missouri, he "preached a sermon in which he asserted that Abraham and Moses were grossly ignorant of the true character of God, denied the virgin birth and he bodily resurrection oof Jesus, described the Bible as an evolution and not a revelation, declared that there is no such thing as divinely given 'conditions of salvation,' and held that there is no water baptism in the Great Commission (St. Louis Republic, Dec. 8, 1889)." [Quoted from THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST: A HISTORY, W. E. Garrison and A. T. DeGroot, pp. 386-387.
This book includes several speeches by Cave made in the 1890's where he strongly defends the South and blames the North for the Civil War.
I am glad to have the book because of the connection Cave had with the Stone-Campbell religious heritage, infamous though it may be. (
