British views on the American Civil War...
Item # 691438
August 21, 1863
THE TIMES, London, England, Aug. 21, 1863 This issue offers an interesting perspective on the British thoughts on the American Civil War. Although officially neutral, the British were not only buying Southern cotton & government bonds, but they were also building naval vessels & selling arms and ammunition to the Confederacy.
Page 7 has a very lengthy editorial that is biased against the Yankee cause. One bit near the beginning mentions: "...no one tarries in Washington who has the smallest chance to quit it. The President betakes himself to his 'Soldier's Rest' which is a kind of Castle Gandolfo to this Pope of universal Yankeedom..." and much, much more commentary on the Civil War by a British reporter.
Also, page 8 has a report giving Pope Pius IX's opinion on the Civil War.
Complete in 12 pages, very nice, clean condition.
