NOTE: World war; remote cause of vic- tory ; Union Grand Armies extinguished Rebellion in 1865. In 1915 united America succored despairing Europe, conquering the Huns. Rebel policy of 1861, if then triumphant, would have broken up America, made us unable to resist Germany.
Hence, Union victories of 1865 saved the life of Belgium, France and Britain in 1918, 53 years later.
