A Defense of Union War Aims and Congress as Peace Vehicle
Secretary Seward argues the United States has steadily advanced against the rebellion, defending the Union against European mediation. He rejects Drouyn de L’Huys’s proposed neutral conferences and favors Congress led negotiations or a constitutional national convention. He asserts no North or South exists in law, only an insurrectionary party and a loyal majority, and warns that any surrender of national authority would be repudiated by the American people.
