To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The seizure was in November, 1861, by Cap- tain Wilkes of our navy; and the envoys named were taken by him from the Trent, a mail-carrying steamer of the British Government. The act of Captain Wilkes met with enthusiastic commendation throughout the entire cotmtry; he was voted the thanks of Congress, and his act publicly approved by the Secretary of the Navy.
" The demand by the British government for reparation upon the part of the United States was prompt and expHcit.
The perils that then en...vironed us were such as rarely shadow the pathway of nations. Save Russia alone, oiu* Govern- ment had no friend among the crowned heads of Europe.
Menaced by the peril of the recognition of the Southern Confederacy by England and France, with the very stars apparently warring against us in their courses, the position of the President was in the last degree trying. To surren- der the Confederate envoys was in a measure humiliating and in opposition to the popular impulse; their retention, the signal for the probable recognition of the Southern Confeder- acy by the European powers, and the certain and immediate declaration of war by England.
