From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst

July 10

‘We protest solemnly in the face of mankind, that we desire peace at any sacrifice, save that of honor. In independence we seek no conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of any kind from the states with which we have lately been confederated. All we ask is to be left alone that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms. This we will, we must resist to the direst extremity.’

- Jefferson Davis
