"Although the Confederacy as an organization may have ceased to exist, the fundamental principles, the eternal truths, uttered when our colonies in 1776 declared their independence, on which the Confederation of 1781 and the Union of 1788 were formed, and which animated and guided the Confederacy of 1861, yet live, and in Gods appointed time and place, will prevail." Jefferson Davis

"The war was a conflict over grammar - whether the proper grammar was "the united States are" or "the United States is"."
