Description: This book comprises a fervent appeal contending that disabled Union soldiers should be given preference for positions in the nation's civil service. The author provides an extensive review of federal legislation related to veteran hiring practices and argues that the government has failed to live up to its obligations to those who served in the military. The author suggests that the government deliberately and systematically favors Confederate veterans over Union veterans for government jobs, despite legislation passed specifically to prevent this. The book gives a detailed account of the author's personal experience as a disabled Union soldier struggling to find employment and argues that his experience is not unique. The author also discusses the broader implications of the government's failure to uphold its commitments to veterans, arguing that it undermines public trust and erodes the nation's moral fabric. By highlighting the plight of disabled Union soldiers, this book sheds light on a significant chapter in American history and raises important questions about the government's obligations to those who have served in the military.
