To: Forward the Light Brigade

It was suggested that Bragg so hated Davis that he may have done what he did on purpose. Of course, Bragg argued even with himself-that was the way he was.

If the idiots Lincoln and Halleck would have let Grant do what he wanted at the beginning, that war would have been over very early. Grant feared no southern general like he feared Johnson. He knew that if the south would have followed Johnsons tactics and draw the war out, the north would have grown so weary of the war that they would have sued for peace.
