This position, which he held for the duration of the American Civil War, put him into regular contact with the ambassadors of the Union and Confederate governments. Russell faced criticism both from both abroad and at home. He was a frequent target for Union frustrations over perceived Southern sympathies in British government, though he largely favored British neutrality as the status quo. Overall, his middling approach to handling controversies with the Union and the issue of British neutrality led to his unpopularity among some of his peers and the British public. Russell went on to serve as Prime Minister again following the death of Palmerston, though a brief Conservative rise to power removed him from the office.

The top image shows the figure of Queen Victoria, representing the British Empire, and the military threat posed by British participation. Relations with Britain had deteriorated over the course of late 1861 over their neutrality and recognition of the Confederacy as a belligerent. While by 1862, the immediate tension had waned, animosity towards Britain lingered in the North, flaring up over later controversies with the British before the end of the war. The lower image displays the figures of Otto von Bismarck of Prussia and Napoleon III of France, two other powers vying for superiority over the other in Europe and beyond. France in particular would exploit the situation in America, the Union being distracted by its war with the Confederacy, to enact an invasion and occupation of Mexico. Establishing a puppet regime under Maximilian I, it would collapse due to revolts by Mexican republicans in conjuction with the winding down of the Civil War to the north.

William Howard Russell acted as the London Times's war correspondent abroad, documenting events in Crimea. An early pioneer in war reporting for press publications, Russell went on to cover the course of the American Civil War for the Times as well. Russell was especially prominent among the international reporters covering the conflict within the military lines of the North and South. Through his work, Russell followed armies to the battlefield, and regularly met with political leadership in the Union and Confederate governments, including President Lincoln. Particularly notable is his coverage of the First Battle of Bull Run and other early engagements, whose outcome generally favored the South. Russell's reporting of Union military performance, published in the Times, influenced early British expectations for the conflict and its final outcome.

Perceived American-belligerence during the Civil War leads to a change in the character, soon termed 'Naughty Jonathan' in the British press. In this image, Jonathan is shown as throwing a tantrum over Britain's refusal to support the Northern cause, as the motherly figure of Queen Victoria, also representing Britannia, sits as if ready to scold her unruly child.

Written only a few weeks before the captured Confederate diplomats were released to Great Britain, Ewing's opinion and suggestions on what actions to take line up with Lincoln's final attitude on the issue. In suggesting that the focus should be upon the course of the war with the rebelling Confederacy, the idea of one war or issue at a time is a central theme to Ewing's argument.
