Famous quotes containing the words civil war, american, civil and/or war:

    “The utter helplessness of a conquered people is perhaps the most tragic feature of a civil war or any other sort of war.”
    —Rebecca Latimer Felton (1835–1930)

    —Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    “They have been waiting for us in a foetor
    Of vegetable sweat since civil war days,
    Since the gravel-crunching, interminable departure
    Of the expropriated mycologist.”
    —Derek Mahon (b. 1941)

    “Long accustomed to the use of European manufactures, [the Cherokee Indians] are as incapable of returning to their habits of skins and furs as we are, and find their wants the less tolerable as they are occasioned by a war [the American Revolution] the event of which is scarcely interesting to them.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
