Not for fame or reward,
not for place or for rank,
not lured by ambition, or goaded by
necessity, but in simple obedience to
duty, as they understood it, these men
suffered all, sacrificed all, dared all--and
died.

"I say we can not know your suffering, but this we do know; we love and honor you, veterans, and are justly proud of the hertiage you have given us. Just so long as warm blood flows in the veins of man, so long will the words "CONFEDERATE VETERAN" cause that blood to tingle with glorious pride, and , if there be one among us, born in our glorious southland who is not so thrilled, every drop of stagnant blood proclaims him bastard to the south a coward to all the world." Joseph Powell Pippen
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it.........Abraham Lincoln 8/22/1862.
The {Emancipation} Proclamation has no constitutional or legal justification except as a war measure. Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln--Sic Semper Tyrannis!
"I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races......I am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position." This statement was made to Stephen Douglas in their 1858 debate in IL.
The Northern onslaught upon slavery was no more than a piece of specious humbug designed to conceal its desire for economic control of the Southern states. Charles Dickens 1862
"If it is a crime to love the South, it's cause and it's President then I am a Criminal. I would rather lie down in this prison and die than leave it owing allegiance to a government such as yours. " Belle Boyd
"Any reasonable creature may know, if willing, that the North hates the Negro, and that until it was convenient to make a pretence that sympathy with him was the cause of the war, it hated the abolitionists and derided them up hill and down dale...As to Secession being Rebellion, it is distinctly possible by state papers that Washington considered it no such thing-that Massachusetts, now loudest against it, has itself asserted its reight to secede, again and again." Charles Dickens
"Then call us Rebels, if you will, We glory in the name, for bending under unjust laws, and swearing faith to an unjust cause, we count as greater shame.
