J. P. Morgan on Lincoln

Via Billy

"I supported President Lincoln. I believed his war policy would be the only way to save the country, but I see my mistake. I visited Washington a few weeks ago and I saw the corruption of the present Administration and so long as Abraham Lincoln and his Cabinet are in power, so long will the war continue, and for what? For the preservation of the Constitution of the Union? No! But for the sake of politicians and governmental contractors."

-- J. P. Morgan (April 17, 1837 - March 31, 1913), American financier and banker
