Countrymen do not fear, our series of strategic losses are simply tests given to us by our Father to test our morale and conviction as a nation to overcome the Confederacy. I will tell you as I told my daughter, "There has been a big battle, and we had a great many men killed and wounded. We shall try it again soon, and see if we cannot make those Rebels behave better, and stop their wicked works in trying to spoil our country, and making us all so unhappy." Countrymen, we shall overcome the confederacy and we shall prevent them from spoiling this, the great United States of America!
