I would prefer being in a hard battle; however, I will be satisfied with whatever happens to me in this war, if only the country comes out of this peril safe and to the satisfaction of the finest and best government on earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I would make this war as severe as possible, and show no symptoms of tiring till the South begs for mercy.
I think I'd be a better president because I was in combat.
If I have any choice I would prefer Western Troops.
I said in my heart that, rather than have war, I would give up my country.
I would rather be an independent senator, governed by my own views, going for the good of the country, uncontrolled by any thing which mortal man can bring to bear upon me, than to be president of the United States, put there as presidents of the United States have been for many years past.
I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.
As a war correspondent and a mother, I've learned to live in two different realities... but it's my choice. I choose to live in peace and witness war - to experience the worst in people but to remember the beauty.
An honorable Peace is and always was my first wish! I can take no delight in the effusion of human Blood; but, if this War should continue, I wish to have the most active part in it.
I would prefer things to be peaceful and not have conflict.
I'd end all of the wars. I'd bring all of the troops home and make sure that they're taken care of for life - for what they did protecting our country.
