As Long As It Served

I Only Wanted To Help My People.

I Firmly Believe That In This Fiery Ordeal, In This Suffering, Misery, And Woe, The South Is But Undergoing A Purification By Fire And Steel That Will, In Good Time, And By God's Decree, Work Out Her Own Independence.

Fortune Has Played Me A Sad Trick By Letting Me Live On And On.

I Thank God That I Can Say On My Death Bed That I Am A Virtuous Woman.

Politically I Did Not Like Mr. Lincoln For In Him I Saw The Destroyer.
