| Quotes On The War
“I regard the levy of troops made by the
administration for the purpose of subjugating the States of the South as
in violation of the Constitution and a gross usurpation of power. I
can be no party to this wicked violation of the laws of the country, and
to this war upon the liberties of a free people. You can get no troops
from North Carolina.”
~~N.C. Gov. Ellis
In response to Lincoln’s Secretary of War call for troops to invade South Carolina.
Sir…I
owe no allegiance to any men or set of men on earth, save only to the
State of North Carolina, and, so far as she has parted with her
sovereignty, to the United States of America.”...
~~Judge William Gaston
Craven Co., N.C.
