Belligerent rights and neutral duties in the Civil War
The speaker argues Britain recognized belligerent rights for policy yet may abandon that stance. The United States acted to block insurgent ports by blockade, not by uncertain Congressional acts. The president asserts belligerent rights apply to munitions and ambassadors, rejects impractical port closing alone, and warns that liberty must be balanced with duty in foreign policy.
