ALS : London, to Cyrus W. Field, 1862 Nov. 27.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122610672

Elaborating on a statement made in a speech on October 7, Gladstone states his belief (shared by most of the British upper and middle classes and many others in Europe) that the Union cannot be preserved by war. He argues that by continuing with no possibility of success the U.S. is responsible for all the damage and suffering caused by the war in Europe as well as at home. If the U.S. lets the South go it will improve its character by ridding itself of slavery, and will soon recover from its material losses as well.
