[Footnote 952:  The Liberator, Feb. 27, 1863.  At Bristol the opposition element introduced a resolution expressing abhorrence of slavery and the hope that the war in America might end in total emancipation, but adding that “at the same time [this meeting] cannot but regard the policy of President Lincoln in relation to slavery, as partial, insincere, inhuman, revengeful and altogether opposed to those high and noble principles of State policy which alone should guide the counsels of a great people.”  The resolution was voted down, and one passed applauding Lincoln.  The proposer of the resolution was also compelled to apologize for slurring remarks on Thompson.]

[Footnote 960:  Lutz, Notes.  Schleiden’s despatch, No. 1, 1863.  German opinion on the Civil War was divided; Liberal Germany sympathized strongly with the North; while the aristocratic and the landowning class stood for the South.  The historian Karl Friedrich Neumann wrote a three-volume history of the United States wholly lacking in historical impartiality and strongly condemnatory of the South. (Geschichte der Vereinigten Staaten, Berlin, 1863-66.) This work had much influence on German public opinion. (Lutz, Notes.)]
