It is an act of good will that should be a measure of their character. This measure of their character is an overflow. We firmly agree that the Confederacy and Union should take up Brazil’s offer in seeking peace. The United Kingdom has no desire for war with the Union. It is our hope that by our presence we are able to provide an incentive to avoid rash action by either sides in this conflict. We will defend ourselves and our interests; should the Union attack our ships for protecting the free flow of trade we will defend ourselves as our Sovereignty demands, but it is our hope that such events never occur. It is not a matter of merely moving ‘to war’ to ‘protect a new nation.’ Rather it is our desire for harmony between these two sides that motivate us. Mr. Stevens of the United State’s Congress accused our nation of being in this for economic reasons. Claiming that our desire for wealth overpowered our morality. This is not so. It is our firm belief that we are acting to preserve peace in the region. Mr. Steven’s rhetoric is indicative of a war-monger. It is of the utmost import that cooler heads prevail as we seek to find a resolution between the Sovereign States of the Union and Confederacy. Once more, we commend Brazil for extending the opportunity to avoid senseless conflict. They are truly children of God.
