Any Victory Would Be Dear At Such

We Must...submit Ourselves In Adversity To The Will Of A Merciful God As Cheerfully As In Prosperity.

So Far From Engaging In A War To Perpetuate Slavery, I Am Rejoiced That Slavery Is Abolished. I Believe It Will Be Greatly For The Interest Of The South. So Fully Am I Satisfied Of This That I Would Have Cheerfully Lost All That I Have Lost By The War, And Have Suffered All That I Have Suffered To Have This Object Attained.

Our Country Demands All Our Strength, All Our Energies. To Resist The Powerful Combination Now Forming Against Us Will Require Every Man At His Place. If Victorious, We Will Have Everything To Hope For In The Future. If Defeated, Nothing Will Be Left For Us To Live For.

A Man May Manifest And Communicate His Joy, But He Should Conceal And Smother His Grief As Much As Possible.

All I Ever Wanted Was A Virginia Farm, No End Of Cream And Fresh Butter And Fried Chicken - Not One Fried Chicken, Or Two, But Unlimited Fried Chicken.
