Description
Norman B. Judd, the American minister in Berlin, sent this report to Secretary of State William H. Seward on 14 December 1861. It is Document 445 in the 1862 volume of Papers Relating to Foreign Affairs, among the first Prussian papers in the volume.
Judd wrote in the month of the Trent crisis, when war with Britain seemed possible and every European court's attitude counted double. From Berlin he could report how Prussia and the smaller German states read the American conflict. Prussian sympathy leaned to the Union, and German volunteers were crossing the Atlantic to enlist. His early report helped Seward map the friendly ground in Europe at the end of the war's first year.
