"Making it all the more a tragedy that a despot started such a horrible war for no good reason." Referring to Jefferson Davis, of course.
"Mr. President, at this time it is suicide, murder, and will lose us every friend at the North.
You will wantonly strike a hornet's nest which extends from mountain to ocean, and legions now quiet will swarm out and sting us to death.
It is unnecessary; it puts us in the wrong; it is fatal."[14]
