Famous quotes containing the word union:
“These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion. The man who thinks that the perpetuity of slavery is essential to the existence of the Union, is unfit to be trusted. The deadliest enemy the Union has is slavery—in fact, its only enemy.”

“In externals we advance with lightening express speed, in modes of thought and sympathy we lumber on in stage-coach fashion.”
