Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The ´98 Campaign of the 6th Massachusetts, U. S. V The Spanish-American War of 1898 was the justification of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. When Governor Wolcott sent to Washington to ascertain what would be required of the Commonwealth in case war was declared, he was informed by General Miles that the militia of the coast States would in all probability be used only for coast defence, and that the militia of the interior States would be used for any foreign expedition that might be determined upon. This policy was almost instantly abandoned upon the outbreak of war, because it was found that the militia of the interior States, with some exceptions, were neither equipped nor drilled, and Massachusetts gladly did not only her own particular work, but the work originally cut out for others. The country asked Massachusetts to strip herself of her trained soldiers for the use of the Nation, and no more selfish policy was allowed to exist by the people of the State or the soldiers sprung from among them.
