Excerpt from British Sympathy With America: A Review of the Course of the Leading Periodicals of Great Britain Upon the Rebellion in America War tries and reveals the strongest elements Of national character, developing in an accelerated ratio the physical and moral resources Of a people. In itself an evil and a scourge, it may become the means Of purifying and exalting the popa lar Spirit and Of bringing a nation to the fullest consciousness Of its historic destiny. It may likewise become an interna tional touchstone, revealing the sympathies or antipathies Of other nations. The sentiments that are cloaked in times of peace are Often evoked with unmistakable significance when a nation is struggling for its very life. We find Out Who are our real friends, and who they are that wish us ill, when en gaged in a contest that absorbs all our energies. Especially must this be the case, When a nation, like Our own, is involved in an intestine con¿ict, striving to Uphold its national unity in the face Of a formidable revolt. At such a crisis the broad human and Christian sympathies of other nations will be clearly expressed, if not by the proffer Of material aid, yet in the way of moral support, Of cordial cheer and good-will.
