See also:Seward, he stood for the Republican policy of concession; and, while he was criticized severely and, charged with inconsistency in view of his See also:record as a "Conscience Whig," he was of the same mind as President See also:Lincoln, willing to See also:con-cede non-essentials, but holding rigidly to the principle, properly understood, that there must be no See also:extension of slavery. He believed that as the Republicans were the victors they ought to show a spirit of conciliation, and that the policy of righteousness was likewise one of expediency, since it would have for its result the holding of the border slave states with the North until the 4th of March, when the Republicans could take See also:possession of the See also:government at Washington. With the incoming of the new See also:administration Secretary Seward secured for Adams the See also:appointment of minister to See also:Great See also:Britain. So much sympathy was shown in England for the See also:South that his path was beset with difficulties ; but his See also:mission was to prevent the interference of Great Britain in the struggle; and while the work of Lincoln, Seward and See also:Sumner, and the cause of emancipation, tended to this end, the American minister was insistent and unyielding, and knew how to See also:present his See also:case forcibly and with dignity. He laboured with See also:energy and discretion to prevent the sailing of the "See also:Alabama "; and, when unsuccessful in this, he persistently urged upon the See also:British government its responsibility for the destruction of American See also:merchant vessels by the See also:privateer. In his own See also:diary he shows that underneath his calm exterior were serious trouble and keen anxiety; and, in fact, the See also:strain which he underwent during the See also:Civil See also:War made itself See also:felt in later years.
