War is hell.
I will make Georgia howl.
The only good Indian is a dead Indian.
You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will.
If I had to fight, I would fight for the Union.
The war is over; the rebels are our countrymen again.
I am tired of this war.
I will not be a party to this war.
The man who fights for his country is a hero.
There is a time when a man should be tough.
