Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reply of Messrs. Agenor De Gasparin, Edouard Laboulaye, Henri Martin, Augustin Cochin to the Royal National League of New York: Together With the Address of the League, Adopted at the Mass Inaugural Meeting, in the Union Square, April 11, 1863 Europe has had her errors, her hesitations, for which we are paying dearly to-day on both shores of the Atlantic. What blood would have been spared to you, what industrial suffering avoided by us, had European opinion declared itself with that force which you had the right to hope for! There is a protest of the universal conscience before which mankind necessarily recoils; moral forces are, after all, the great forces. The revolted South, which needed our aid, which relied, and perhaps still relies upon us, would not have long dared to affront the indignation of the civilized world. I. Why has this indignation been withheld? Why has a sort of favor been granted to the only insurrection which has had neither motive nor pretext - to the only one which has dared to unfurl the banner of slavery? What has been the merit of this insurrection? By what charm has it conciliated the sympathy of more than one enlightened mind? This is a question humiliating to put, but useful to solve. In the first place, Europe doubted whether slavery was the real cause of conflict. Strange doubt, in truth! For many years slavery had been the great, the only subject of strife in the United States. At the time of the election of Mr. Buchanan the only issue was slavery. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
