Southron Sunday - quotes from the WoNA

'Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people designed

to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender

at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen

these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die

at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand.'

-- General Robert E. Lee, August 1870, to Governor Stockdale of Texas
