This editorial examines American responsibility to compensate for destroyed British property during the Civil War. British citizen George Adlain had considered staying in America but his property on Missionary Ridge had suffered damage during the battle.
Greeley was a New York journalist and editor of the New York Tribune. His main concern was the abolition of slavery. In 1872 he ran unsuccessfully for president against Grant on both the Democratic and Liberal Republican tickets.
