Quote from Private JohnH. Haley, Seventeenth Maine Regiment, U. S. A.

"If we of the North were called upon to endure one half as much of the Southern people and soldiers do we would abandon the cause and let the Southern Confederacybe established. We pronounce their cause unholy, but they consider it sacred enough to suffer and die for."
