The American Civil war presents
the unique spectacle Of a conflict ar
raging a whole nation in arms for
ideas-for principles so firmly held
that both sides were ready to die for
them. 1t was the trial of the issue
between conflicting ideas of society
and government before the tribunal of
the God of Battles.
1t was waged on both sides with a
zeal born of absolute conviction in
the righteousness of the cause. 1t was
waged until the victors had well-nigh
exterminated their opponents, as the
scars of the south after nearly half
a century still bear witness. And 1t
was the final Civil war for the Ameri-
can people. They may disagree, and
disorderly factions may rise in arms
But never again can they be so divid-
ed as they were then. In a furnace
heat that tested human will to the
limit of endurance has been welded
their national unity.
The character of the conflict whose
glory and whose sorrow it recalls is
what makes our Memorial day festi-
val unknown to other nations. On
this day we honor, as we should, the
memory of the brave In all the repub-
lies wars. But we also celebrate as
that which gives to the day its unique
and distinguishing significance and
that which sets us apart from all 9TH
er peoples the Great War that in very
deed truly made as well as saved the
American republic.
