“A government that can only be saved with swords and bayonets is no true government at all” -Robert E. Lee, Confederate General TWEDYAOD

Name this document… When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…they should declare the causes which impel (drive) them to the separation…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure (protect) these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent(approval) of the governed, [and] whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.

A tale of two inaugurations… In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail [attack] you. You can have no conflict, without being yourselves the aggressors. -Abraham Lincoln, 1861 …we must prepare to meet the emergency and maintain, by … the sword, the position which we have assumed among the nations of the earth… -Jefferson Davis, 1861

First Inaugural Address – March 1861 “We are not enemies, but friends…. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.”
