“Whenever the government of the United States shall break up, it will probably be in consequence of a false direction having been given to publick opinion. This is the weak point of our defenses, and the part to which the enemies of the system will direct all their attacks. Opinion can be so perverted as to cause the false to seem the true; the enemy, a friend, and the friend, an enemy; the best interests of the nation to appear insignificant, and trifles of moment; in a word, the right the wrong, and the wrong the right.” StatesMomentsSeemsGovernmentGivenNationsCausesInterestUnitedOpinionEnemyBreakUnited StatesSocietyConsequenceDirectWeakDefenseInsignificantTriflesWeak Points Author:James F.

“In my opinion while lynchings were quite possibly the most heinous crimes ever witnessed in American history, they helped in bringing people together for a sole purpose.
