Refugee Leaders

Famous quotes containing the words refugee and/or leaders:

“The refugee uncertain at the door
You make at home; deftly you steady
The drunk clambering on his undulant floor.”

“These semi-traitors [Union generals who were not hostile to slavery] must be watched.—Let us be careful who become army leaders in the reorganized army at the end of this Rebellion. The man who thinks that the perpetuity of slavery is essential to the existence of the Union, is unfit to be trusted. The deadliest enemy the Union has is slavery—in fact, its only enemy.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
