139 Will the Wounds of the War Be Healed?
There is still another question: “Will all the wounds of the war be healed?” I answer, Yes. The Southern people must submit, not to the dictation of the North, but to the nation’s will and to the verdict of mankind. They were wrong, and the time will come when they will say that they have been vanquished by the right. Freedom conquered them, and freedom will cultivate their fields, educate their children, weave for them the robes of wealth, execute their laws, and fill their land with happy homes.
