About this book
John Stuart Mill wrote this essay for Fraser's Magazine at a moment when a quarrel between Britain and the United States had just passed without war. He argues that Britain, after decades of pressing other nations to end the slave trade, would have been helping to set up a Southern power built on slavery if the quarrel had become a fight. He describes the Confederate leaders as slave-owners who left the Union because they feared limits on spreading slavery. The text is a reprint from the magazine.
