Daily Chicago Times, December 10, 1860: "The South has furnished near three-fourths of the entire exports of the country. Last year she furnished seventy-two percent of the whole...we have a tariff that protects our manufacturers from thirty to fifty persent, and enables us to consume large quantities of Southern cotton, and to compete in our whole home market with the skilled labor of Europe. This operates to compel the South to pay an indirect bounty to our skilled labor, of millions annually."

The Political Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Merrill D. Peterson, 1970, Monticello, VA: Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation: "Jefferson himself, the principal author of the declaration, stated in his First Inaugral Address, 'If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which the error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.' Jefferson believed strongly in a state's right of secession, although he did not necessarily think that exercising the right would be wise. If a state (or states) wanted to secede, 'God bless them both and keep them in the union if it be for their good, but separate them it be better,' he said while president."

Citizen Sherman, Michael Fellman, 1995, Lawrence: Lawrence University Press: "Declaring that America -- especially the South -- was 'too free and too ungoverned,' Sherman waged war on civilians with a vengeance. This action included occasionally ordering his men to pick a civilian at random and kill him. In one notable instance 'a Union company attacked the nearest house, that of the White family, beat to death the twenty-three year-old boy living there, and burned down the home.'"

Sherman's March, Burke Davis, 1980, New York: Vintage: (In Columbia, South Carolina, 1865) "Ladies were hustled from their chambers, their ornaments plucked from their persons...Men and women bearing off their trunks were seized...and in a moment the trunk burst asunder with the stroke of an axe or gun butt, the contents laid bare, rifled, and the residue sacrificed to the fire...The soldiers plundered and drank. There were no reports of raped white women, but the black women of the city suffered terribly."
