Act With A Determination Not To Be

I Have Fought Against The People Of The North Because I Believed They Were Seeking To Wrest From The South Dearest Rights. But I Have Never Cherished Toward Them Bitter Or Vindictive Feelings. And Have Never Seen The Day When I Did Not Pray For Them.

The Dominant Party Cannot Reign Forever, And Truth And Justice Will Prevail At Last.

Keep Steady In The View Of The Great Principles For Which You Contend. The Safety Of Your Homes And The Lives Of All You Hold Dear Depend Upon Your Courage And Exertions. Let Each Man Resolve To Be Victorious, And That The Right Of Self Government, Liberty And Peace Shall Find Him A Defender.

What A Glorious World Almighty God Has Given Us. How Thankless And Ungrateful We Are, And How We Labor To Mar His Gifts.

You Cannot Barter Manhood For Peace.
