Excerpt from An Address Delivered in Raleigh, N. C., On Memorial Day (May 10), 1895: Containing a Memoir of the Late Major-General William Henry Chase Whiting, of the Confederate Army, (at the Request of the Ladies' Memorial Association)
He who imagines that the statesmen of the South, above all the people of North Carolina, rushed into the tremeu dous conflict of the Civil War in thoughtless pride, or mad determination to preserve a single species of property, knows nothing of the true spirit that filled the hearts of the best of the land.
