“Nothing fills me with deeper sadness than to see a Southern man apologizing for the defense we made of our inheritance. Our cause was so just, so sacred, that had I known all that has come to pass, had I known what was to be inflicted upon me, all that my country was to suffer, all that our posterity was to endure, I would do it all over again.” — President Jefferson Davis, C.S.A. #JeffersonDavis #AmericanHistory #CivilWar #Confederacy #USHistory #HistoricalQuote #19thCentury #SouthernHistory #
