The Rutland Herald (Vt-R, July 1862) quoted a local soldier's letter in which righteousness rationalizes extreme violence: "We can never end this war/// till we make common cause with the negro, arm him, ...and by a combination of terror and extermination, destroy the race of slaveholders on this continent. I know this will be a terrible course — bloody and horrible. But by what sort of cataclysm can anyone expect the two hundred years of torture and wrong... to be closed? ...I look to see those fair Southern homes... sink amid blood and fire. ...To the hands of the North have been committed the sword and flame of avenging justice. With knife and cautery must we pursue this cancer to all its ramifications, unmindful of the writhing and groans of the victim. Our National Life and the hopes of the ages are tied to the thoroughness of our work."

Have you ever noticed that no one who compares anything to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire ever seems to know anything about actual "late" Roman history? Look at how decadent we've become! It's just like the Roman Empire. Mark my words, soon the barbarians will be at the gates and we're going to: - almost completely collapse. - almost completely recover but with a more authoritarian political system. - split the country between four different Presidents who will then fight in a civil war tournament bracket to see who gets to unite it again. - move the capital to Kansas City. - adopt Scientology as our official state religion. - have some more civil wars and also fight the Mexicans every so often. - fuck up our border policy so bad that the Canadians invade and sack DC - then everything easy of the Mississippi will be governed by the Chariman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for 50 years until one day the Canadians just sort of slide in and take it over. - but everything west of the Mississippi will be more or less OK all things considered and they'll just kind of let the Canadians govern the East, until one day there's a real go-getter in the Western Presidency and he conquers pretty much the whole East against for a bit. - lose like half our population in a plague - have a gigantic three decade long war with Mexico that we narrowly win - get almost entirely conquered out of nowhere by a militant new religious movement that suddenly comes out of the Sonoran Desert - hang on for 700 years behind the powerful walls of New Kansas City, periodically regaining enough strength to reconquer the whole Midwest, and ocassionally inviting in the Canadians to give us a hand and/or screw us over because they subscribe to a somewhat different flavor of Scientology, before finally getting put out of our misery by the successor empire to the successor empire to the successor empire of the original new religious movement that fucked us up so bad earlier.

"I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say 'yes' or 'no'. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are — perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, to see how many I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
