(wind blowing) The South was mad and would
listen to no concessions. They had come
to hate everything which had the prefix "free." Free states,
free schools, free speech,
and freedom generally, and they would have
no more such prefixes. This haughty
and unreasonable attitude of the imperious South saved the slave
and saved the nation. From the first, I, for one, saw this war
as the end of slavery. ♪ ♪ Blight:
In the first year
or two of the war, he's still
very much an outsider
