Jubal Early

“General Lee had not been conquered in battle, but surrendered because he had no longer an army with which to give battle. What he surrendered was the skeleton, the mere ghost of the {{w|Army of Northern Virginia}}, which had been gradually worn down by the combined agencies of numbers, steam-power, railroads, mechanism, and all the resources of physical science.”

“We haven't taken Washington, but we've scared Abe Lincoln like hell!”

“I not only wish them all dead but I wish them all in Hell.”
