The 70 Socialist Members Of The US Congress

"In such a condition there may possible be a solid and honourable peace; and one in which the South may still preserve many things dear to her in the past. There may not be a political South. Yet there may be a social and intellectual South. But if, on the other hand, the South, mistaking the consequences of the war, accepts the position of the inferiour, and gives up what was never claimed or conquered in the war; surrenders her schools of intellect and thought, and is left only with the brutal desire of the conquered for ‘bread and games’, then indeed to her people may be applied what Tacitus wrote of those who existed under the Roman Empire: ‘We cannot be said to have lived, but rather to have crawled in silence, the young towards the decrepitude of age and the old to dishonourable graves.’"
--Edward A. Pollard, 1866
