“It is to be lamented that the principle of national has had very little nourishment in our country, and, instead, has given place to sectional or state partialities.

—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“What people do who go into politics I can’t think; it drives me almost mad to see mismanagement over only a few hundred acres.”
