Every attempt to make war
easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.
War is the remedy that our
enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
I would make this war as
severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for
mercy.
War is cruelty. There is no use
trying to reform it [war]. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.
This war differs from
other wars, in this particular. We are not fighting armies but a hostile people,
and must make old and young, rich and poor, feel the hard hand of war.
