Civil War Unity Letter From YMCA Leaders on North South Peace
An 1881 circular from the Young Men's Christian Association urges unity and peace between North and South, arguing separation is inevitable but urging restraint and constitutional principles. It cites postwar sentiment from Cincinnati, Troy, Charleston, Richmond and New Orleans, and contrasts peaceful coexistence with calls for war and divided governance. The Dubuque response questions secession and warns of military and political consequences.
