I tried all in my power to avert
this war. I saw it coming, for twelve years I worked night and day to prevent it, but I could not. The North was
mad and blind; it would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came, and now it must go on till the last man
of this generation falls in his tracks, and his children seize the musket and fight our battle, unless you acknowledge
our right to self government. We are not fighting for slavery. We are fighting for Independence, and that, or extermination.
