Civil Union

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or union:

“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“She had brought love to the union and he had brought a longing after the flesh.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
