Vicksburg Is The Nail Head

Our Armies Were In As Much Chaos In Victory As Theirs In Defeat.

I Worked Night And Day For Twelve Years To Prevent The War, But I Could Not. The North Was Mad And Blind, Would Not Let Us Govern Ourselves, And So The War Came.

Let Men Not Ask What The Law Requires, But Give Whatever Freedom Demands.

At Rest An American Soldier And Defender Of The Constitution.

The Slave Must Be Made Fit For His Freedom By Education And Discipline, And Thus Made Unfit For Slavery. And As Soon As He Becomes Unfit For Slavery, The Master Will No Longer Desire To Hold Him As A Slave.
