"The time for compromise has now passed. The South is determined to maintain her position, and make all who oppose her smell Southern power and feel Southern steel." — Jefferson Davis.
"Talk! Talk! Talk! That will never free the slaves. What is needed is action — action!" — Abolitionist John Brown.
"There is Jackson standing like a stone wall! Let us determine to die here, and we will conquer." — Confederate General Barnard E. Bee.
More than 700 provocative declarations in this fascinating book constitute a running narrative by many who lived through or died in the Civil War.
