War is Unwise

War is Unwise

That the principles and practice of war are unwise I argue:

1. Because, Instead Of Preventing, They Provoke Insult and Mischief

2. War Is Unwise,
For Instead of Diminishing, It Increases Difficulties

3. War Is Unwise,
Because It Destroys Property

4. War is Unwise,
As it is Dangerous to the Liberties of Men

5. War Is Unwise,
As It Diminishes the Happiness of Mankind

6. War Is Unwise,
As It Does Not Mend, But Injures, the Morals of Society

7. War Is Unwise,
As It Hazards Eternal Things for Only A Chance of Defending Temporal Things

8. War Is Unwise,
As It Does Not Answer the Professed End for Which It Is Intended
