"Let our children teach their children that their patriotic fathers fought for their fatherland; that they were inspired by as patriotic motives as ever fired the hearts or nerved the arms of free men; and though our Cause has gone down in disaster, in ruin, in blood; not one stain of dishonor rests upon it." - Gen. Wade Hampton, CSA - 1895
