I don’t know much about this incident but I am dubious about this retelling.
There are a lot of florid adjectives, with one side being villainous and dastardly, the other side noble (that being said, Buchanan was a disgrace).
And the level of privation described here as being inflicted on the US is not consistent with the force being able to press on. It had to have been exaggerated else they would have been forced to retreat.
Finally, the part about being “neutral” in the US a civil war, well, that is certainly nothing to be proud of for an ostensibly, moral organization, though completely consistent with their “children of Ham” doctrine that banned blacks from ordination, mixed marriages etc until the end of the 1970s.
