the following anccdote is related - Is

Patrick was taken before General Lee,
and underwent the usual cross-question-

General couldn't make head or tail Of
them. Atlength the General asked him
what countryman he was. Pat promptly
replied he was an Irishman. '.You an

your native land to escape the tyranny
Of England, and after coming to America
and enjoying the blessings ofliberty here,
you now wish to force upon the South a
similar system of tyranny You wish
the South to occupy the same relative
position to the North that Ireland does
to England. You fight for neither princi-
pie nor honor you fight only for money
all of Lincoln's hirelings fight for a
