All We Ask Is To Be Let

Vicksburg Is The Nail Head That Holds The South’s Two Halves Together.

It Was One Of The Compromises Of The Constitution That The Slave Property In The Southern States Should Be Recognized As Property Throughout The United States.

Pray Excuse Me. I Cannot Take It.

I Tried All In My Power To Avert This War. I Saw It Coming, For Twelve Years I Worked Night And Day To Prevent It, But I Could Not. The North Was Mad And Blind; It Would Not Let Us Govern Ourselves, And So The War Came, And Now It Must Go On Unless You Acknowledge Our Right To Self Government. We Are Not Fighting For Slavery. We Are Fighting For Independence.

Nothing Fills Me With Deeper Sadness Than To See A Southerner Apologizing For The Defense We Made Of Our Inheritance.
