[Footnote 1394:  These were not confined to Great Britain.  The American Legation in Berlin received addresses of sympathy from many organizations, especially labour unions.  One such, drawn by W. Liebknecht, A. Vogt, and C. Schilling read in part:  “Members of the working-class, we need not affirm to you the sincerity of these our sympathies; for with pride we can point to the fact, that, while the aristocracy of the Old World took openly the part of the southern slaveholder, and while the middle class was divided in its opinions, the working-men in all countries of Europe have unanimously and firmly stood on the side of the Union.” (U.S.  Diplomatic Correspondence, 1865, Pt.  IV, p. 500.)]
