"Sebagian besar pemilih sah di Selatan adalah laki-laki yang tidak memiliki budak; rumah mereka umumnya di perbukitan dan negara miskin; fasilitas mereka untuk mendidik anak-anak mereka, bahkan sampai membaca dan menulis, sangat terbatas; minat mereka pada kontes sangat sedikit - apa yang ada, jika mereka mampu melihatnya, ada di Utara; mereka juga membutuhkan emansipasi."

--- Ulysses S. Grant

Versi Bahasa Inggris

The great bulk of the legal voters of the South were men who owned no slaves; their homes were generally in the hills and poor country; their facilities for educating their children, even up to the point of reading and writing, were very limited; their interest in the contest was very meagre--what there was, if they had been capable of seeing it, was with the North; they too needed emancipation.
