Excerpt from Anglo-American Relations 1861-1865 The importance to the world of the con tinuation and extension of the good feeling now happily prevailing between the two great English-speaking peoples is so generally recog nised that a clear account of the manner in which, at an important crisis in history, the relations between the sister nations became strained and almost hostile, may not be without its uses. Mutual good will must be based on mutual understanding, and it is unfortunately very easy for misunderstand ings to arise even between peoples who enjoy the advantage of a common language. This was the case during the American Civil War, as the records on which we have based this work abundantly show.
