Quotes from Abraham Lincoln

“Without slavery, the rebellion could never have existed. Without slavery, it could not continue."

"Although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it, by being a slave himself."

Quotes from Jefferson Davis

“If the Confederacy falls, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a Theory.”

"The time for compromise has now passed, and the South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern powder and feel Southern steel."--Jefferson Davis, from his inaugural speech on February 16, 1861

“I know only two tunes: one of them is "Yankee Doodle," and the other isn't.”

" I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution." March 4, 1869, Grant's First Inaugural Address

Robert E. Lee Quotes

“[W]e made a great mistake in the beginning of our struggle, and I fear, in spite of all we can do, it will prove to be a fatal mistake. We appointed all our worst generals to command our armies, and all our best generals to edit the newspapers.”

“It is well that war is so terrible -- lest we should grow too fond of it.”
