description: “The right of a government to govern its citizens must be based on the consent of those citizens who will be governed. Union is trying to preserve a unity of states, and Confederate is trying to preserve its right to govern itself. What the Underground Railroad is doing is right for the families who have stopped at our Station. The LAW says what we did is wrong! In our estimation, slavery is totally wrong.” So believed my great-grandparents, who understood the Civil War was more than it has since become understood to be. “I pray that as a country, we come to the point where we are truly all equal, where the color of a man’s skin is not even a consideration, much less an issue. Perhaps our great-grandchildren will be able to overcome this war, but I do not believe it will be in our lifetime. Not in our children’s children’s lifetime.”
