No Theory Of My Own Will Ever

Lee's Army Will Be Your Objective Point. Wherever Lee Goes, There You Will Go Also.

The Distant Rear Of An Army Engaged In Battle Is Not The Best Place From Which To Judge Correctly What Is Going On In Front.

Generally The Officers Of The Army Were Indifferent Whether The Annexation [of Texas] Was Consummated Or Not; But Not So All Of Them. For Myself, I Was Bitterly Opposed To The Measure, And To This Day Regard The War, Which Resulted, As One Of The Most Unjust Ever Waged By A Stronger Against A Weaker Nation. It Was An Instance Of A Republic Following The Bad Example Of European Monarchies, In Not Considering Justice In Their Desire To Acquire Additional Territory.

All Secret Oath-bound Political Parties Are Dangerous To Any Nation, No Matter How Pure Or How Patriotic The Motives And Principles Which First Bring Them Together.

I Would Suggest The Taxation Of All Property Equally Whether Church Or Corporation.
