by Alfred Grant

Description

Those writing for the British press of the mid-Victorian era were masters of the English language, given to tirades of grand oratory on matters large and small. They particularly liked to cover the former colonies, arousing rhetorical fears among Britons over the increasing power of the United States. With the advent of the American Civil War, the British press had the perfect opportunity to practice their peculiar brand of journalism.
