The quest for a strategy, 1861
The bottom is out of the tub
You must act
A question of legs
Destroy the Rebel Army, if possible
The promise must now be kept
Lee's Army, and not Richmond, is your true objective point
The heaviest blow yet dealt to the rebellion
If it takes three years more
No peace without victory.
