Famous quotes containing the words south and/or africa:
“The cloud was so dark that it needed all the bright lights that could be turned upon it. But for four years there was a contagion of nobility in the land, and the best blood North and South poured itself out a libation to propitiate the deities of Truth and Justice. The great sin of slavery was washed out, but at what a cost!”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“America is not civil, whilst Africa is barbarous.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
