“Sir, it is true that republics have often been cradled in war, but more often they have met with a grave in that cradle. Peace is the interest, the policy, the nature of a popular Government. War may bring benefits to a few, but privation and loss are the lot of the many. An appeal to arms should be the last resort, and only by national rights or national honor can it be justified.”

Jefferson Davis (1808–1889) President of the Confederate States of America

Debate in the House of Representatives, (6 February 1846).

We have no answer yet to these questions, and one gets an impression that there are powerful forces not interested at all in such answers ever being given.”
