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.”
