4:24:32
We"ve borne enough insults
from the Yankees.
4:24:35
We"ll keep our slaves
with or without their approval.
4:24:39
"Twas the sovereign right of
Georgia to secede from the Union.
4:24:43
The South must assert herself
by force of arms.
4:24:45
After we"ve fired on the Yankee rascals
at Fort Sumter, we"ve got to fight.
4:24:50
- There"s no other way.
- That"s right!
4:24:52
Let the Yankees ask for peace.
4:24:54
The situation"s very simple.
The Yankees can"t fight and we can.
4:24:58
There won"t be a battle.
They"ll turn and run.
4:25:01
- One Southerner can lick 20 Yankees.
- We"ll finish them in one battle.
4:25:05
Gentlemen can always fight
better than rabble.
4:25:08
Gentlemen always fight better.
4:25:09
What does the captain
of our Troop say?
4:25:12
Well, gentlemen...
4:25:13
...if Georgia fights, I go with her.
4:25:16
I hope the Yankees let us
leave the Union in peace.
4:25:19
Ashley, they"ve insulted us!
4:25:21
You can"t mean you don"t want war?
4:25:22
Most of the miseries of the world
were caused by wars.
4:25:26
And when the wars were over, no one
ever knew what they were about.
4:25:32
Now, gentlemen. Mr. Butler"s
been up North, I hear.
4:25:35
Don"t you agree with us?
4:25:38
I think it"s hard winning
a war with words.
4:25:40
What do you mean, sir?
4:25:42
There"s not a cannon factory
in the whole South.
4:25:45
What difference does that make
to a gentleman?
4:25:47
It"ll make a great difference
to a great many gentlemen, sir.
4:25:50
Are you hinting
that the Yankees can lick us?
4:25:52
No, l"m not hinting.
4:25:54
l"m saying plainly, the
Yankees are better equipped than we.
4:25:57
They"ve got factories,
shipyards, coal mines...
4:25:59
...and a fleet to bottle up our
harbors and starve us.
