Fifteenth Corps

Famous quotes containing the words fifteenth and/or corps:

“It could be clearly proved that by a practical nullification [by the South] of the Fifteenth Amendment the Republicans have for several years been deprived of a majority in both the House and Senate. The failure of the South to faithfully observe the Fifteenth Amendment is the cause of the failure of all efforts towards complete pacification. It is on this hook that the bloody shirt now hangs.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“There was nothing to equal it in the whole history of the Corps Diplomatique.”
—James Boswell (1740–1795)
