Description
Closing the year's printed exchange with the Spanish minister in Washington, Secretary of State William H. Seward sent this note to Gabriel García Tassara on 15 November 1862. It is Document 441 in the 1862 volume of Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs.
November 1862 found the Union army changing commanders and the emancipation order weeks from taking effect. Foreign legations measured the government anew, and Seward's notes carried a firm, even tone to each of them. For Spain, the standing concerns were Cuba, neutral duties, and Mexico. The note ends the volume's Washington-Spain file for the year, a record of friction managed without rupture, which was exactly the result the Union needed.
