" I tried all in my power to avert
this war. I saw it coming for
twelve years; I worked night and day to prevent it, but I could not.
The North was mad and blind, it would not let us govern ourselves, and
so the war came and now it must go on till the last man of this
generation falls in his tracks, and his children seize the musket and
fight our battles, unless you acknowledge our right to self
government. We are not fighting for slavery, we are fighting for
independence, and that, or extermination."

"All the South has ever desired was that
the Union, as established by
our forefathers, should be preserved, and that the government, as
originally organized, should be administered in purity and truth."
