Ulysses S. Grant
... anything is better than indecision. We must decide. If I am wrong, we shall soon find out and can do the other thing. But not to decide wastes both time and money and may ruin everything.
Ulysses S. Grant

Retreat? NO. I propose to attach at daylight and whip them.

The cause of the great War of the Rebellion against the United Status will have to be attributed to slavery.

Ulysses S. Grant
