be reorganized on the great principle of emancipation the subject is fast in its compass terrifying in its prospects but sublime and beautiful in its life devoted to it would be no police or second if the federal government and its constitution are opposed to my way of thinking the fault is not mine that there is and i shall continue to oppose them with every means and every weapon at my disposal until now you think you own the government and the army and anybody who disagrees with you is a lying renegade rabble rousing traitor you get this from the steward you know you other mason dixon  if i believe that you would get the loans to it actually sent for you alone as for you custer and the rest of you you must be taught that lying to protect friends is sometimes an extremely dangerous practice i'm not so greatly concerned about the fight itself as i am about it because all seven of human violated the first three in the military conduct a tragic and violent exchange of political ideas which are not the affairs of an american soldier you must be punished and punished severely i should request of the war department upon your graduation next week that all of you will be assigned to the most dangerous branch of the united states ah me second the united states government stationed at fort leavenworth in kansas  robert holliday cancer territory it is now my great honor and privilege to introduce the secretary of law of the united states of america the honorable jefferson davi obligation is to make clear and definite his responsibility to his government we are a new nation among the powers of the world just eighty years ago we were fighting desperately for our freedom and we're scaling fighting to he said i never knew this savage land they call america i'm going to put your new officer straight from the start this is fort leavenworth and not west point you were sent here to man up front to your garrison three of the officers you're supposed to be replaced are very back of the hill in the little military cemetery the other four haven't been found yet the regiment of mounted right has only one job to keep the peace in kansas and we're here alone there's no other forth between us and set up and we're proud of that responsibility we've got a tough reputation in alive if possible his forces well i'm now i'm strong in numbers we also suspect that new volunteers are drifting in from the east to join him be on the lookout for them as well retire the respect and i have received a red cent in three months now what about it mr rader i enlisted you on the recommendation of friends in the east who said you would work for the codes you've done your job well i have no complaint up enough but our you know we don't have to obey orders since we're the army but we will got work to do i know how you man must feel about this my orders are to break up all armed forces yours john brown's or anyone else i'm sorry but if you organize under arms i won't be able to draw a line between you you without a fight i hope that you might consider yourself and not do that at the people in america believe in your theory a lot of them even condone it methods that will guarantee you a public trial i'm not on trial but the nation itself are you too stupid and blinded by uniform to see what i see that's dark an evil curse laying all over this last kind of sin against god can only be wiped out in blood  get back home to t all these people up right while there i was right out in the middle of campus facing five hundred crazy fanatics heavily armed and me with only fifteen soldiers have been captured how terrified for the future i sized up the situation at a glance when you come to be by far i can see the light in the government service yes i think it is the job the next election oh that's too bad they should be in the army you know politics don't bother us he'd rather go fishing anyway telling me how i put down the trouble in kansas finds out daybreak they rush the us take thousands of weapons with the idea of arming the negroes that the situation gentlemen move from move i don't know you may be able to get there ahead of them but if you do you've got to move fast tonight it's fantastic our secret service and reporter john brown to be out of the country and i oughta know areas i've been with him every day and every mile since we left kansas then why are you informed on him don't forget kind of i was in the service she and i made a mistake i didn't know that then but i do know i guess some of the things we learned at west point stay on inside of us but they but then we realized anyway i couldn't stand by and see my country torn apart by a mad man like brown i had to come here this was something a lot bigger than myself i couldn't have been the size of the reward to look at the turning a man could i said why i came here and that's the truth i am entitled in a reward i'm even willing to go back there and rejoining tonight just in case you get suspicious or change his plans what more proof do you want than that i believe in because it's too dangerous not to also get your start colonel to be here and commands but that's been a fatal mistake to many an expedition my advice is to wait
