Alexander H. Stephens Quotes

• Nuestro nuevo gobierno está fundado exactamente sobre la idea opuesta; sus cimientos están puestos, su piedra angular descansa, sobre la gran verdad de que el negro no es igual al hombre blanco; que la subordinación a la esclavitud de la raza superior es su condición natural y normal. Este, nuestro nuevo gobierno, es el primero, en la historia del mundo, basado en esta gran verdad física, filosófica y moral.

• If centralism is ultimately to prevail; if our entire system of free Institutions as established by our common ancestors is to be subverted, and an Empire is to be established in their stead; if that is to be the last scene of the great tragic drama now being enacted: then, be assured, that we of the South will be acquitted, not only in our own consciences, but in the judgment of mankind, of all responsibility for so terrible a catastrophe, and from all guilt of so great a crime against humanity.
