In light of recent events involving the French Empire's decisions, the United States government is respectfully requesting the French government to rescind its declaration of war upon the United States. This Republic was founded with French help and support, and the United States wishes that the relationship forged many years ago in the fires of revolution can continue. So far, no French or US men have been killed, no shots fired in anger against either side. We are not asking for money or material, simply neutrality in the conflict. An honorable peace for both sides can be achieved if we both demand it.

-- William Seward
United States Secretary of State
