There will be here only one nation and one government, and there will be the same Republic, and the same constitutional Union that have already survived a dozen national changes, and changes of government in almost every other country.
Página 10 - In the conflict, thus far, success has been on our side, complete throughout the length and breadth of the Confederate States.
