View of past heroism as guide to present resolve
A lengthy meditation argues that history's great defenders, from Frederic the Great to Prussia, show enduring courage and unity. It urges Americans to adopt a similar iron will, endure hardship, and resist defeat, drawing lessons from seven years of war and public calls for tax and price policies to sustain the Confederacy.
