Quotes

  • During forty years before the rebellion it was an axiom with the War Department that no officer was fit to command an army who was not of Southern birth. My loud dissent from that assumed axiom was considered a sure indication of folly and in competency. I refer to myself simply as an exponent of a state of things that naturally grew out of the institution of slavery.
