"The United States imagines no other war besides a civil war. In each war it is always fighting against itself and against those faults of its own that the enemy nation embodies. It calls war a moral crisis. When it was English, it fought against the English; as soon as they became American, Americans fought among themselves; as soon as it became sufficiently Germanized in its mores and culture, it tilted at the Germans."
