A Restitution Of The Union

My Own Convictions As To Negro Slavery Are Strong. It Has Its Evils And Abuses...we Recognize The Negro As God And God's Book And God's Laws, In Nature, Tell Us To Recognize Him - Our Inferior, Fitted Expressly For Servitude...you Cannot Transform The Negro Into Anything One-tenth As Useful Or As Good As What Slavery Enables Them To Be.

The Time For Compromise Has Now Passed, And The South Is Determined To Maintain Her Position, And Make All Who Oppose Her Smell Southern Powder And Feel Southern Steel.

The Troops Of Other States Have Their Reputation To Gain, The Sons Of The Alamo Have Theirs To Maintain.

The Authors Of All Our Misfortune.

It Is A Duty We Owe To Posterity To See That Our Children Shall Know The Virtues, And Rise Worthy Of Their Sires.
