"I here declare my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule -- to all political, social and business connection with the Yankees and to the Yankee race. Would that I could impress these sentiments, in their full force, on every living Southerner and bequeath them to every one yet to be born! May such sentiments be held universally in the outraged and downtrodden South, though in silence and stillness, until the now far-distant day shall arrive for just retribution for Yankee usurpation, oppression and atrocious outrages, and for deliverance and vengeance for the now ruined, subjugated and enslaved Southern States!
..And now with my latest writing and utterance, and with what will be near my latest breath, I here repeat and would willingly proclaim my unmitigated hatred to Yankee rule--to all political, social and business connections with Yankees, and the perfidious, malignant and vile Yankee race."
--Edmund Ruffin , 1865

as for the spelling of his last name, the flag he had made in TX in 1864 spells his name QUANTRELL. one would assume he knew how to spell his OWN name.

the historian of Dover says she thinks his family moved there about a year after his birth.
i'm eternally fasinated about how SLOPPY the research is in many so-called "history books". many writers simply copy an earlier books data w/o checking to see if the data is CORRECT!

ignorant,hatefilled, leftist,extremist,mean-spirited, scalawags and damnyankees tend, i have noticed,when they write "history", to be that way. i wonder if their sloppiness is intentional OR if the intent is to DECEIVE?

let me give you ONE simple example of the sort of SLOPPY research that is all-too-common in "scholarship" = several years ago, a book was printed about the battle @ Ft. Pillow. in the book, the following appearred: "----in 1863 numerous foreign "advisors" visited both the Federal & CS armies during that year of 635 days" ---- an OBVIOUS TYPO, but that same phrase appearred in SEVERAL "learned" works!
