 andrewrogers.net: Freedom Quote of the Week, February 9, 2003   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The South was the last stronghold of European civilization in the western hemisphere, a conservative check upon the restless expansiveness of the industrial North, and the South had to go.
The South was permanently old-fashioned, backward-looking, slow, contented to live upon a modest conquest of nature, unwilling to conquer the earth's resources for the fun of the conquest; contented, in short, to take only what man needs; unwilling to juggle the needs of man in the illusory pursuit of abstract wealth.
The War between the States was the second and decisive struggle of the Western spirit against the European -- the spirit of restless aggression against a stable spirit of ordered economy -- and the Western won." -- Allen Tate, Jefferson Davis: His Rise and Fall, a Biographical Narrative.

Legends of the navy only 60 years before, when impressment was still the norm and men did not see their families for years on end, as well as the terrible privations suffered by sailors during the Crimean War, were still too fresh for the new sail-and-steam navy not to appreciate the reforms.
