Summary:

"Let Us Have Peace" by Logan H. Roots is a historical account presented as remarks delivered in the House of Representatives in the late 19th century. The central theme of the book is focused on the political assassination of Hon. James Hinds, chronicling a significant moment in American history during the post-Civil War era, highlighting the struggle for peace and protection in a society still grappling with issues of oppression and violence. In this poignant address, Logan H. Roots honors the memory of James Hinds, detailing his rise from poverty to a prominent political figure who championed the rights of the oppressed. He paints a vivid picture of Hinds' dedication to freedom and justice, culminating in his tragic death at the hands of political enemies. Roots urges for peace and unity among the divided political factions, calling for a collective effort to protect the living and ensure that the sacrifices made by Hinds and others in the fight for equality were not in vain. Through an emotional narrative, Roots not only memorializes Hinds but also emphasizes the broader social responsibility to maintain peace and protect the rights of all citizens in the newly unified nation.
