Confederate Way Contrasted With Lusitania Case
A historical comparison recalls the 1862 sinking of the Ariel by the Confederate Alabama off Cuba. The Ariel carried 140 Federal officers, a marine battalion, and 300 other passengers including women and children. The Alabama spared the passengers, releasing sailors and paroling troops, then departed, contrasting chivalry with modern force and Britain’s war aims. The piece touches on Carranza, Villa, and U.S. policy, urging limited military build-up to deter “might makes right” while advocating steadier, humane leadership.
