Famous quotes containing the words north and/or rebels:
“I felt that he, a prisoner in the midst of his enemies and under the sentence of death, if consulted as to his next step or resource, could answer more wisely than all his countrymen beside. He best understood his position; he contemplated it most calmly. Comparatively, all other men, North and South, were beside themselves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““Poor Esther!” said he gloomily. “She has been brought up among men, and is not used to harness. If things go wrong she will rebel, and a woman who rebels is lost.””
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
