When Garibaldi Was Asked
To Lead the Union Forces

ceeded at once to Caprera, the little
island near Sardinia, where Garibaldi
lived. To his dismay. Garibaldi re-
fused to go to America except on two
conditions. both of which Sanford
knew to be impossible of acceptance.
He demanded that he be made un-
conditional commander-in-c chief OF the
Union armies, freed even from the au-
thority of the President, and that he
be given the power to emancipate the
slaves. Lincoln could not have dele
gated to any one his authority as COM
; mander-in- chief. even had he wanted
to do SO, and it was no part Of his
plan at that time to free the slaves.
to accept other terms. but in vain:
Garibaldi would fight only if he were
commander and for the emancipation
of the slaves. For the time being
the effort had to be given up.
The negotiations had been kept as
leaked out and the newspapers in
1861 were very outspoken in their de-
mands that Garibaldi be brought in
at any cost. On the other hand. the
Italians seemed dismsyed at the
thought of losing their old general
Thousands of letters were written TO
him beseeching him not to throw his
life away on a foreign cause while
; the freedom of Italy was not yet
completed.
In 1852 GaribaIdi attempted to fore.
the hand of the Italian gcsc..-"t
by starting a movement on Rome
| The king of Italy defeated his arm,
and Garibaldi was wounded in bat
tie and thrown into prison. Whilt
he was in prison he was again ap-
preached by the American consul at
Vienna on the subject of turning his
attention to America, but Garibaldi's
only reply was the observation that
just then he was a prisoner. After
| he had been released from prison and
| his wound was healing. he approached
Marsh. United States minister in Italy.
| In regard to a command in the Union
army. Marsh assured him of his de-
| light at the prospect and forwarded
| the correspondence to Seward 1t
| was a delicate situation. inasmuch as
Lincoln was issuing his emancipation
/ proclamation and Garibaldi was will
+, ing to take a subordinate command:
| both the former snags to his coming
| to America had been removed. But
i Lincoln and Seward both felt now
| that the cause of the Union did not
need the aid of an Italian general
Native generals were being trained by
sheer adversely to cope with the
| South. Stewards reply, then. to Carl
baldis offer was q model of ambiguity
that would have done credit to Tally
rand himself. He assured him OF his
delight in hearing that the general
still favored the Union cause and
ihoped that his wound would soon heal.

A MERICANS have been known to
~ boast of the fact that their
n country has never had to call
in foreign troops TO fight its
battles for it. However this may be,
it is certainly true that the United
States once in it's history felt con-
strained to call upon a foreigner to
lead its armies in the field. This for
eigner was Garibaldi.
The offer to Garibaldi to head the
armies of the United States was made
by President Lincoln through Secre-
tary Seward in 1861, about a week
after the battle of Bull Run. The
north was in panic and Lincoln did
not believe that he had a single
general that he could rely upon to
stop the progress of southern arms.
1t was not unnatural that in this
dilemma he should think Of Garibaldi.
That Italian warrior already had
fame that was spread over the en-
tire world. He had taken part in the
interminable revolutions in South
to drive the Austrians out\ OF Italy
in 1s4s He had fed to the United
States as a political refugee in 1850
and had lived for several years as a
candlemaker on Staten Island. He
had returned to Italy and in 1860 had

expedition that brought about the
freedom of Italy. He was known
everywhere as a man of extraordinary
military ability. who was ready to
fight anywhere and any time he had
a chance to help the cause of free
dom.
Even before Lincoln made his offer
to Garibaldi the latter had been ap-
proached on the subject OF fighting
for the north in the civil war. This
was done by the American consul at
Antwerp, and Garibaldi had intimated
i thar IL his king were not in need
of him he would be more than glad
to fight for America. IL he could be
assured that the war was being
fought for the liberation Of the slaves
When Seward wrote to him at Lin
coins command he offered to make
him a major-general in the Union
Army II he would take part in the
war, and to allow him to act inde
pendently of the commander-in-ch chief
Lincoln's offer was transmitted to
Garibaldi through Sanford. then
United States consul at Brussels
Sanford at once set out for Italy to
see Garibaldi. and since he was de-
tanned at Turin he sent q messenger
on to ask him II he was open for the
service Garibaldi wrote back that II
