Description

Holograph, signedTitle devised by catalogerManuscript addressed to "W.L. Garrison Boston Mass."Livingston writes that there can "be but little doubt" that the "British Aristocracy and Manchester men" are seriously considering intervening in the Civil War on the side of the Confederacy, with France possibly joining them. Livingston states that the success of the Confederate rebellion is dependant upon the success of the movement towards war in England, and states his fear that slavery will expand beyond the current borders of the Confederate states. Livingston urges the "instantaneous dispatch to Europe of abolition missonaries" to raise antislavery sentiment and thus thwart the proposed intervention of Great Britain on the Confederate side
