## Resource

"Causes of the American Civil War" by John Lothrop Motley presents a compelling defense of the Federal position during the early days of the Civil War, articulated through letters he wrote to The Times in 1861. Motley's insights not only made a significant impression on President Lincoln but also played a crucial role in shaping American diplomatic efforts to prevent European intervention on behalf of the Confederacy. This work highlights themes of national unity and the struggle for sovereignty that resonate strongly today, reminding us of the importance of diplomatic engagement in times of conflict.
