HERE IS A PREFACE TO THE ADDRESS THIS EVENING. IT is actually a duet performed as a solo. The research behind the story belongs to my husband as much as to myself, since for some years we have been prowling together through archives and writing as a team.' The movement which we call the French Intervention in Mexico from 1861 to 1867 was broader than the term implies, both in concept and expected results. Had it succeeded, the destinies of the Western Hemisphere would have been modified. That it failed was due to a combination of circumstances rather than to the single effort of an individual or a group. Among the many links between the French Intervention and the South I have chosen to outline four issues in the course of which France exploited or planned to exploit the Southerners. These four issues might be simplified thus: (1) Could American disunion be used to initiate the Emperor's grand design for the new world, or, as the French called it, la Grande Pensee de l'Empereur? (2) Could a divided United States further la Grande Pensee? (3) Would recognition by the Confederacy strengthen the Mexican Empire? And (4) would Confederate migration bolster the wobbling fortunes of that empire
