# What McLeod Loved

“I love mankind, I love the country of my choice, I love the saints; and I desire to promote the best interests of true religion and of civil liberty, because I love my God.” — [**Alexander McLeod**](/authors/alexander-mcleod), *A Scriptural View of the Character, Causes, and Ends of the Present War* (1815), p. vi
