Wow, all the liberal propaganda one can stand. Complete with typical liberal invective.
The majority of Britain’s trade was with the Union; blockade running was no evidence of open trade with the South, but Britain’s general aversion to it, because there were other locations and means to evade the blockades.
Believing German propaganda in the NYT? When in a hole, stop digging. It took Wilson two years to avenge the Lusitania, and that was after a re-election campaign with “He Kept Us Out Of War” as the slogan—a shameful reflection upon a USA that George Washington admonished must be “at all times ready for war”.
Obama’s already proven that “no special relationship” is not good for us, especially when he replaces it with a tenuous alliance with the Israel-hating European Union. Supporting the special relationship is not necessarily being a “British cheerleader”, whatever that means. Keep sloganeering, by all means.
