Description:
Excerpt from The Men in Gray
Knowing this to be the attitude and feeling Of the conquered, to whom the war had brought incalcula ble loss and suffering, I supposed that the conquer ors, who had suffered and lost comparatively little, would be equally magnanimous. But I was speedily undeceived. The storm of unjust criticism and bitter denunciation which the speech called forth showed but too plainly that the embers of hate were still smoldering in some Northern hearts, needing but a breath to fan them into ๏ฌame, and that the time was not yet come when plain speech in justification of the South would receive calm consideration
