• There are among us those that would criticize our Confederate ancestors. Would you allow a stranger to come into your house and criticize your little ones? I say it's not whether we should be ashamed of our fathers and mothers of the Old Confederacy. I say it's a question of whether they should be ashamed of us.

• The withdrawal of a State from a league has no revolutionary or insurrectionary characteristic. The government of the State remains unchanged as to all internal affairs. It is only its external or confederate relations that are altered. To term this action of a Sovereign a 'rebellion' is a gross abuse of language.

• For black folks, the Confederate flag represents the same thing that the Nazi flag represents to the Jews. There is absolutely no difference when we look at it. Now, white folks try to explain it away like, 'Oh, it's OK.' But when you're black, it is not OK. It represents oppression and murder.

• They do not know what they say. If it came to a conflict of arms, the war will last at least four years. Northern politicians will not appreciate the determination and pluck of the South, and Southern politicians do not appreciate the numbers, resources, and patient perseverance of the North. Both sides forget that we are all Americans. I foresee that our country will pass through a terrible ordeal, a necessary expiation, perhaps, for our national sins.

Este, nuestro nuevo gobierno, es el primero, en la historia del mundo, basado en esta gran verdad física, filosófica y moral.

• It is said slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all our enemies are fighting for. It is merely the pretense to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.

• If Wild Bill could have made his successful dash into our lines earlier in the day, the attuck would have been made sooner, and greater results might have been expected.

• Throughout history, every government that's printed money, the money has eventually gone to its ultimate value which is zero. Remember? The confederate dollar went to zero. The continental went to zero. That's what happens when you have a bank that's allowed to print as much money as it wants to.

• El paisaje de Montgomery y del Sur está saturado de imágenes. Hay marcadores por todas partes. Hay un marcador de la primera oficina de correos confederada, un marcador de un baile que organizó Robert E. Lee, un marcador del lugar donde se reunió Jefferson Davis. Nos encanta recordar a la gente todo lo que ocurría a mediados del siglo XIX.

• Pues bien, todo ha terminado. La batalla está perdida, y muchos de nosotros somos prisioneros, muchos están muertos, muchos heridos, sangrando y muriendo. Tu Soldado vive y llora, y si no fuera por ti, querida mía, preferiría, un millón de veces preferiría, estar de vuelta allí con sus muertos, para dormir para siempre en una tumba desconocida.
