"In March 1861, [Russell] arrived in the United States as a special correspondent for the London Times. Russell was a caustic and penetrating critic of both the North and South, and succeeded in stirring up a storm of hostility in both sections. He irked the North especially by his account of the rout of the Federals at First Manassas. He stirred up hostility in the South by his phobia against slavery, which he denounced time and again as barbarism. Yet he found much to praise in the South…" (Coulter).
