Your Civil War General's Quote of the Day

From York, South Carolina native, Confederate Major General Daniel Harvey Hill in response to Federal General John Foster's reprimand for the burning of Plymouth, NC in order to prevent it's capture:

"A meddling Yankee troubles himself about everybody's matters but his own and repents at everybody's sins but his own. Should the Yankees burn a village in Connecticut or Massachusetts, we would bid them Godspeed in their work of purifying the atmosphere."
