Description
Excerpt from General Phil Sheridan: As I Knew Him
At that time Grant was commander of all the armies. Sheridan could not move to the Mexican boundary without Grant''s order. Grant, of his own motion, could not have sent Sheridan. The order was directed by the Administration.
Our government, during the war of the rebellion, had to endure threats and insults which it would not bear for a minute after domestic peace was secured. The English pro fessed hostility to slavery, but sold weapons and munitions Of war and supplies Of every character to the States fighting to maintain slavery. Louis Napoleon put his poor dupe on a throne supported by bayonets in Mexico. Between England and Napoleon the Third, the Republic was to be overthrown and divided and the Monroe Doctrine forever stamped out. The sending of Sheridan to Texas was a National policy not one of Sheridan''s - and was the first act in the movement to notify the world that our western continent was dedicated to liberty and freedom and could never become a mere series Of colonial possessions for rotten European tyrannies.
