Among my Danish excursions was one to Slesvig in July, 1860.
Germany must look, in self-defence, on Slesvig and Denmark as pawns in her game.
Having lived through the invasion of Slesvig, he was most patriotically Danish; he looked on the Prussians as an 'uneasy' people.
Slesvig was to be crushed until it became quiescently Prussian.
Germany might accept the Philippine Island, and retake Slesvig afterwards.
