I intend to make Georgia howl.

I intend to make Georgia howl."

If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty, I will answer that war is war, and not popularity seeking.

I make up my opinions from facts and reasoning, and not to suit any body but myself. If people don't like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don't solicit their opinions or votes.

Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and disaster.

I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.
