Re: The Union's reason for the war

I believe that the writter was being a politician and speaking out of both sides of his mouth trying to feather the Northern "Nest" in the eyes of foriegn countries abroad. The Northern intent was to surpress the free will of the southern states to form their own country the same as King George III had done.

He was saying all of these grand reasons to try to justify their war effort, when in fact an evaluation of history shows they were doing the exact opposite by trying to force the seceding state to remain in the Union by the use of force rather than diplomacy. It is the old adage of actions speak louder than Words. Actions always give the true intent of words whether the words are lies or not.
