Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Secret Service of the Confederate States in Europe, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, How the Confederate Cruisers Were Equipped English Political Parties and the Civil War. - Pertinacity of Mr. Secretary Seward. - Vacillation of the Liberal Government. - Present Position of the Liberal Party. - The French Proclamation of Neutrality. - Arrangements for building cruisers at Bordeaux. - Appropriation of £2,000,000 for Ironclads by Congress. - Financial difficulties. - Propositions to purchase vessels from the French Navy. - Correspondence concerning the vessels building in France. - Deceptive attitude of the French Government. - The vessels sold by their imperative orders. - Panic at Boston and New York regarding the Confederate cruisers. The compilers of the ´Case´ which was laid before the Tribunal of Arbitration at Geneva on behalf of the United States, asserted that England was the ´arsenal and treasury´ of the Confederate States. The Board of Trade returns demonstrate that both belligerents drew upon Great Britain for the ´sinews of war,´ but that the United States obtained them in far greater quantities and with incomparably less difficulty than their adversary.
