—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.”
