“I have never on the field of battle sent you where I was unwilling to go myself, nor would I now advise you to a course which I felt myself unwilling to pursue. You have been good soldiers.

Obey the laws, preserve your honor, and the government to which you have surrendered can afford to be and will be magnanimous.” Has BeensWarGovernmentLawCoursesFeltFieldsCitizensHonorBattleSoldierBe GoodPursuePreservesCivil WarAdviseUnwillingGood CitizenYour HonorMagnanimousGood Soldiers Author:Nathan Bedford Forrest

“Every man that tried to destroy the Government, every man that shot at the holy flag in heaven, every man that starved our soldiers... every man that wanted to burn the negro, every one that wanted to scatter yellow fever in the North, every man that opposed human liberty, that regarded the auction-block as an altar and the howling of the bloodhound as the music of the Union, every man who wept over the corpse of slavery, that thought lashes on the naked back were a legal tender for labour performed, every one willing to rob a mother of her child - every solitary one was a Democrat.” MenHumansChildrenWarGovernmentWantedMotherHeavenLibertyHistoryWillingHolyShotsSlaveryUnionsDemocratSoldierEvery ManNakedBlockCivil WarLabourYellowFlagsSolitaryCorpsesAltarsFeverAmerican Civil WarLashesAuctionsYellow FeverBloodhounds Author:Robert Green Ingersoll
“Mother’s Day really was in its origin an antiwar day, an antiwar statement. Julia Ward Howe was sickened by what had happened during the Civil War, the loss of life, the carnage, and she created Mother’s Day as a call for women all over the world to come together and create ways of protesting war, of making a kind of alternate government that could finally do away with war as an acceptable way of solving conflict.” WorldWayKindWarGovernmentTogetherMotherLossHappenedConflictStatementsCivil WarAntiwarAcceptableMothers DayJuliaCarnageDuring The Civil War Author:Gloria Steinem
