Quotes of Movie: "The Civil War" [1990]

  • [On his escape from slavery.]



    Frederick Douglass:
    I appear this evening as a thief and robber. I stole this head, these limbs, this body from my master and ran off with them.

  • Abraham Lincoln:
    As a nation, we began by declaring that "All men are created equal." We now practically read it, "All men are created equal, except Negroes." Soon, it will read "All men are created equal, except Negroes, and Foreigners and Catholics." When it comes to this, I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty. To Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.

  • [Reacting to the Confederate Government's move to have African American Slaves serve as soldiers in the Army.]



    Senator Howell Cobb:
    You cannot make soldiers of slaves, or slaves of soldiers. The day you make a soldier of them is the beginning of the end of the Revolution. And if slaves seem good soldiers, then our whole theory of slavery is wrong.

  • Frederick Douglass:
    Verily, the work does not end with the abolition of slavery, but only begins.
