4. Davis on purpose of confederacy
“We feel that our cause is just and holy; we
protest solemnly in the face of mankind that we
desire peace at any sacrifice save that of
honour and independence; we ask no
conquest, no aggrandizement, no concession of
any kind from the States with which we were
lately confederated; all we ask is to be let alone;
that those who never held power over us shall
not now attempt our subjugation by arms.”
President Davis - 29 April 1861
