May 18, 1865---The Grand Rallying Point


MAY 18, 1865:           

The Shreveport Semi-Weekly News writes a lengthy article critical of British neutrality in the war “to date,” and follows this article up with a report from Lisbon on the status of the C.S.S. STONEWALL, speculating that it may soon be released from drydock after repairs. It also reports on “Fighting Around Matamoros” (Mexico) and remarks that, “the Monroe Doctrine is the grand rallying point for North and South to meet on.”
