월터 스톤 푸어Walter Stone Poor가 뉴욕 10 보병연대에 복무하면서 1861년 5월 15일에 나중에 처남이 되는 친구 조지 폭스George Fox에게 쓴 편지
What a splendid cause is this on which we are engaged. I think it is the grandest that ever enlisted the sympathies of man. [Our cause is] nobler even than the Revolution for they fought for their freedom while we fight for that of another race. I firmly believe that the doom of slavery is fixed and if it is not wholly rooted out by the present war, measures will be taken to wipe it out forever. If such an event can be consummated by any sacrifice of mine, it shall be cheerfully made. I could die for this as readily as I could lie down to rest at the close of a day of wearisome toil. Men have called this age dull. They can do so no more ... War is bad, heaven knows, but slavery is far worse. If the doom of slavery is not sealed by the war, I shall curse the day I entered the Army, or lifted a finger in the preservation of the Union. Of the old Union we have had enough and more than enough.
쌌 다 !
