Thaddeus Stevens Quote

Every humane and patriotic heart must grieve to see a bloody and causeless rebellion, costing thousands of human lives and millions of treasure. But as it was predetermined and inevitable, it was long enough delayed. Now is the appropriate time to solve the greatest problem ever submitted to civilized man.


"Subduing the Rebellion" (22 January 1862), as quoted in The Selected Works of Thaddeus Stevens.
