More from Henry Ward Beecher
Northern ideas must become American, or Southern ideas must become American, before there will be peace.
All attempts at evasion, at adjourning, at concealing and compromising are in vain.
If the South shall give to the country a policy derived from her heathen notions of men, there will be such a peace as men have overdrugged with opium, that deep lethargy just before the mortal convulsions and death!
These are symptoms only, not the disease; the effects, not the causes.
