Excerpt from Speech of Gen. A. J. Hamilton of Texas: At the War Meeting at Faneuil Hall, Saturday Evening, April 18, 1863
Ladies and Gentlemen of the City of Boston:
At the instance of some of your fellow-citizens, I have consented to detain you briefly, this evening, upon the subject of the existing war in our country. It is the subject now engrossing the attention of every lover of the country, and all minds are more or less engaged in the inquiries pertinent to the existence of such a state of things in our country. Among other questions are these: How is the Rebellion to be dealt with? Will our Government succeed in its effort to crush it out? What will the result be to us, and to the rebellious States, if the Government should fail to suppress the rebellion? What was the cause, or causes, of the rebellion; and among the causes, which were the most prominent? It is but natural, I say, that these questions should be asked; it is also proper, that if there be those who can answer them, or any of them, they should be answered. And it is first, perhaps, the duty of every citizen, before determining in his own mind what the result of the effort on the part of the rebels is to be, to satisfy his mind as to the cause of the rebellion.
