Very scarce work detailing the history, challenges, on-going situation, and unique challenges that led up to and were engaged in the Civil War. Addressed to the British people and urging them to support the North, this fascinating item ends with, "We therefore, most heartily echo the prayer of Mr. Spurgeon, 'God speed the North!'"
