Of the American Review: A Whig Journal…..after reading the first few pages of the 1847 v.5 issue, I was shocked as to the similarities between then and now with regard to the wars. I especially liked this passage….
“We do not know how far Mr. Polk has been allowed to become acquainted with the real state of public opinion on this subject. It not unfrequently happens that the ruler of a kingdom is nearly the last man in it to be well informed of what the people think of him and his government.”
