The young bloods of the South: sons of planters, lawyers about towns, good billiard-players and sportsmen, men who never did any work and never will... They are splendid riders, first-rate shots and utterly reckless. These men must all be killed or employed by us before we can hope for peace.     

Union General William Tecumseh Sherman

The North can make a steam engine, locomotive or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or a pair of shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical and determined people on earth right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared, and with a bad cause to start with.
