"You will mark it as a fact of general history, that in the establishment of great rights, and the overthrow of great wrongs, there has always come a point where the issue must be fought out in battle. Rooted wrong and ancient despotism never yield that last point, till they are confronted with force greater than their own. Selfish power, even when deserted by it's old advocates, and disowned by the surrounding world, will always make one last stand, and will yield only when conquered and abased."

--William H. Goodrich 1861
