3. "He alone deserves to be remembered by his children who treasures up and preserves the memory of his fathers." Edmund Burke (1729-1797)
6. " The utter contempt and loathing for the venerated Stars and Stripes, the abhorrence of the very words United States, the intense hatred of the Yankees on the part of these people, cannot be conceived by anyone who has not seen them. I am more satisfied than ever that the Union can never be restored as it was, and that it has gone to pieces, never to be put together again, in the old shape, at all events, by any power on earth......"

7. "To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?" Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 B.C.-43 B.C.
24. A Federal surgeon at the battle of Sharpsburg: " It is beyond all wonder how such men as the rebel (sic) troops can fight on as they do; that, filthy, sick, hungry, and miserable, they should prove such heroes in fight, is past explanation - one regiment stood up before the fire of two or three of our long- range batteries and of two regiments of infantry, and though the air around them was vocal with the whistle of bullets and scream of shells, there they stood, and delivered their fire in perfect order; and there they continued to stand......"
25. "This war will have failed in one of its most important uses, if it does not teach the South a lesson of undying hate to the United States Government and its people; a hate so implacable that no time will appease it, and so rancorous that no intercourse between the two sections will be allowed. " "We would if we could have a Chinese wall of separation between us, and it should be death to pass it. No Yankee or Yankee product should ever enter our territory. Such a state of things, is, of course impossible between two countries, but the incidents of this war ought to burn into the hearts of the Southern people such a deep-seated animosity to their invader, that no kindly intercourse or liberal feelings should ever exist between them . . ."
