Lee Tells His Troops. After Four Years

Remember, We Are All One Country Now. Dismiss From Your Mind All Sectional Feeling, And Bring Them Up To Be Americans.

Let Us Go Home And Cultivate Our Virtues.

Let Danger Never Turn You Aside From The Pursuit Of Honor Or The Service To Your Country ... Know That Death Is Inevitable And The Fame Of Virtue Is Immortal

They Do Not Know What They Say. If It Came To A Conflict Of Arms, The War Will Last At Least Four Years. Northern Politicians Will Not Appreciate The Determination And Pluck Of The South, And Southern Politicians Do Not Appreciate The Numbers, Resources, And Patient Perseverance Of The North. Both Sides Forget That We Are All Americans. I Foresee That Our Country Will Pass Through A Terrible Ordeal, A Necessary Expiation, Perhaps, For Our National Sins.

Say What You Mean To Do...and Take It For Granted You Mean To Do Right. Never Do A Wrong Thing To Make A Friend Or Keep One...you Will Wrong Him And Wrong Yourself By Equivocation Of Any Kind.
