“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up

the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and

lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.” – Abraham Lincoln’s 2nd

“We hold it to be the duty of the government to inflict condign punishment on the rebel belligerents, and so weaken their hands that they can never again endanger the Union… The whole fabric of southern society must be changed.... How can republican institutions, free schools, free churches, free social intercourse exist in a mingled community of nabobs and serfs; of the owners of twenty thousand acre manors with lordly palaces, and the occupants of narrow huts inhabited by "low white trash?"... The property of the rebels shall pay our national debt, and indemnify freedmen and loyal sufferers.

- Representative Thaddeus Stevens of Pennsylvania, 1865
