Civil War Put Horace
Greeley on Tough Spot
Hated Both War and
Human Slavery
Appessement Policy
RiIed Bennett
Riot Nearly Takes
Greeley's Life
FTER the Republican ma
n tional convention at Chicago
in 1850 shattered some Of Hor-
ace Greeley's political ideals, his
next trial was the civil war. On
that issue he was torn by con-
flicting principles. His humani-
tarianism made him hate war;
the same instinct also made him
hate slavery. His editorials IN
the Tribune reflected those feel
ings and he was accused OF
vacillating.
II he were living today he
would be called an appeaser and
an advocate of peace at any
price. He might find himself
in the position Of Col. Lindbergh
and be accused, indirectly at
least. Of having more sympathy
with the cause Of imperialism
than with democracy. Whatever
he might be called. he certainly
would oppose the United states
mixing in the European mess
except to defend the shores of
America.
When. following Lincoln's cleo
ton, threats Of secession were
made, Greeley's editorials in the
Tribune counseled moderation.
He took the position that "the
great principle embodied by JEFF
ferson In the Declaration of In
dependence - that governments
derive their just powers from
the consent Of the governed-is
sound and just; and II the slave
states, the cotton states or the
gulf states only, choose to form
an independent nation. they have
a clear moral right to do So"
After Fort Sumpter had been
fired on, Charles Dana wrote an
editorial, without Greeley's
knowledge, taking an exactly
opposite position, and at the
head of the editorial column he
placed this rallying cry:
forward to Richmond! For
ward to Richmond! The rebel
congress must not be allowed to
meet there on the goth of July.
BY that time the place must be
