"Editorial: Treason no Longer a Crime – 5-6""...Never having felt the effects of treason, we are not yet conscious there is such a crime.
But when it has cost us a hundred thousand lives, and saddled us with a debt of $1,000,000,000, as it bids fair to do, then we shall begin to see that an attempt to subvert law and order is to destroy property and life, and is the gravest of crimes..."
Seems to me our editors already have a pretty fair estimate of what Civil War will cost in blood & treasure.
Their estimates are still low, but getting closer to actual.
