“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. You can be good citizens. 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
“When a monarchy gradually transforms itself into a republic, the executive power there preserves titles, honors, respect, and even money long after it has lost the reality of power. The English, having cut off the head of one of their kings and chased another off the throne, still go on their knees to address the successors of those princes. On the other hand, when a republic falls under one man's yoke, the ruler's demeanor remains simple, unaffected, and modest, as if he had not already been raised above everybody.” IfsMenLongStillsHandsRealityFallLostSimpleCuttingGoes OnKingsHonorRemainsRaisedTitlesPreservesKneesAddressesExecutivesOne ManRepublicRulersThronesModestMonarchySuccessorsYokeDemeanorExecutive Power Book:Democracy in America Source: Democracy in America

“In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the meaning of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and morals, engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare.” PeopleMindMayWarStatesOpportunityForceNationsMoralGrowingInfluenceHonorOfficeAspectFortuneInequalityMannersPreservesMidstExecutivesFraudWarfareSeducingFederalistFederalist PapersRepublicanism Author:James Madison
