“It is said that slavery is all we are fighting for, and if we give it up, we give up all. Even if this were true, which we deny, slavery is not all that our enemies are fighting for. It is merely to establish sectional superiority and a more centralized form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties”. Mjr Gen Patrick R. Cleburne 1864
