Woodrow Wilson Quotes About War

• Era necesario poner al Sur en desventaja moral transformando la contienda de una guerra librada contra estados que luchaban por su independencia en una guerra librada contra estados que luchaban por el mantenimiento y la extensión de la esclavitud... y el mundo, cabía esperar, la vería como una guerra moral, no política; y la simpatía de las naciones empezaría a correr a favor del Norte, no del Sur.

Sólo una paz entre iguales puede durar.
