More from Henry Ward Beecher

Northern ideas must become American, or Southern ideas must become American, before there will be peace.

Two great powers that will not live together are in our midst, and tugging at each other's throats.

These are symptoms only, not the disease; the effects, not the causes.

All attempts at evasion, at adjourning, at concealing and compromising are in vain.
