Summary "The Continental Monthly, Vol. 3 No 2, February 1863" by Various is a historical magazine publication written in the mid-19th century. The magazine covers diverse topics including national finance, the Civil War, and reports from battlefields, offering readers insights into the political and social climate of the era. The opening portions highlight urgent discussions regarding the United States' financial situation during the Civil War, reflecting anxieties over public debt and currency depreciation, intertwined with calls for immediate action to preserve the Union. At the start of this volume, the author emphasizes the dire state of national finances, asserting that the increasing public debt could lead to inevitable bankruptcy if left unchecked. The discussion is grave, proposing that inaction by Congress represents a threat greater than military defeats. The opening sets the stage for a discourse on the urgent need for coordinated financial measures to avoid disaster. Following this, an account of a visit to the battlefield of Antietam presents a detailed and vivid description of the environment surrounding the army, highlighting the human experience amidst the chaos of war and offering a snapshot of the conditions soldiers faced, thus intertwining personal narratives with historical events.
