Famous quotes containing the words thompson and/or war:
“They smote and fell, who set the bars
Against the progress of the stars,
And stayed the march of Motherland!”

“There is great fear expressed on all sides lest this war shall be made a war for the negro. I am willing that it shall be. It is a war to found an empire on the negro in slavery, and shame on us if we do not make it a war to establish the negro in freedom—against whom the whole nation, North and South, East and West, in one mighty conspiracy, has combined from the beginning.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
