--[X] The Civil War was vicious, it was brutal, it was cruel, and yet the Imperial Coalition laid down its arms in the end rather than see their countrymen starve and suffer. Ernest Delvig's Citizenship Act will be continued but for one amendment, and our countrymen will be brought into the Republican fold by charity or by enforcement of the anti-reactionary laws: denounce the Imperial Coalition and be rehabilitated, or hold your tongue forevermore.
