War is at best barbarism.

You people speak so lightly of war; you don't know what you're talking about. War is a terrible thing!

You might as well appeal against the thunder-storm as against these terrible hardships of war. They are inevitable, and the only way the people of Atlanta can hope once more to live in peace and quiet at home, is to stop the war, which can only be done by admitting that it began in error and is perpetuated in pride.

In our Country... one class of men makes war and leaves another to fight it out.

I see every chance of a long, confused and disorganizing civil war, and I feel no desire to take a hand therein.

War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.

Some of you young men think that war is all glamour and glory, but let me tell you, boys, it is all hell!
