To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
War and its laws alone, justify and make constitutional any of these acts. And much more do they justify and command the utter extinction of its acknowledged cause. War has been justly termed the " scourge of God. " And regarding it from the grounds of the broadest Clnis- tian statesmanship, it may, indeed, be pronounced an evil in itself, in its own nature, so enormous, as never to be jus- tifiable except on the ground that the continued existence of its cause is a still greater evil. I believ...e the universal conscience of Christendom, if appealed to, would confirm this position. To destroy the existence of the cause, is then the only legitimate aim and end in the prosecution of any Avar. It follows, that a war carried on for any other purpose, or Avith any other intent than that of destroying or removing its cause, is not only unjustifiable, but a great mistake, or a great crime. Only on the ground that slavery, the admitted cause of the present Avar, is such an evil, and that the Avar is aimed at its extinction, can it be justified before God and mankind.
