The scenes on this field would have cured anybody of war.

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

A battery of field artillery is worth a thousand muskets.

War is hell.

You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out. I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices to-day than any of you to secure peace.

War is at its best barbarism.
