“If there is to be a separation [i.e., secession of New England], then God bless them [the two countries] both, & keep them in the union if it be for their good, but separate them if it be better.”
- Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John C. Breckenridge, Aug. 12, 1803, regarding the New England secession movement
“No state . . can lawfully get out of the union . . . acts against the authority of the United States are insurrectionary . . .”
- Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address
“Extermination, not of soldiers alone, that is the least of the trouble, but the people [of the South].”
- Letter from General Sherman to his wife, July 31, 1862, explaining his purpose in the war
