More from Charles Sumner
As the Brotherhood of Man is practically recognized, it becomes impossible to restrict the feeling within any exclusive circle of country, and to set up an unchristian distinction of honor between civil war and international war.
But so long as War exists as an Institution this terrible inconsistency must appear.
The devices of party can no longer stave it off.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
