"I am pretty well disgusted with our government ... in a democracy like ours people will always do well or ill largely in proportion to their leadership. If Lincoln had acted after the firing on Fort Sumter in the way that Wilson did about the sinking of the Lusitania, in one month the North would have been saying they were so glad he kept them out of the war ... and all hazards of fratricidal war must be averted.
