To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To show the overwhelming power of this Government, in the early stages of this rebellion, seemed to me to be the dictate of both humanity and economy. Two hundred thousand men could have invested Richmond at any period since the storming of Fort Sumter. The same may be said of Charleston and Sa- vannah, and of every fortified post standing in the way of the free navigation of the Mississippi. The concentration of the power of this Government on these important objects would have terminated this... conflict and restored peace to the country.
But we have strengthened the arm of our adversary by a failure to avail ourselves of the resources, both in men and money, which are known to be at our disposal. The investment of the whole seaboard, and the opening of every southern port, with the undisputed control of the great valley of the Mississippi, would, in itself, render further resistance on the part of the revolted States a mere question of time. I am not here to dis- cuss the wisdom and energy of the War and Navy Departments, but I only reiterate what I believe to be the general sentiment of the country, when I express the disappointment universally felt at the failure of their plans, and the humiliation which has been brought upon us by the reverses which have attended our arms.
