| First words |

- NEW ORLEANS DAILY CRESCENT, December 17, 1860
Nothing could keep Edmund Ruffin away from the secession convention.  | |

| Quotations |
Virginia's Tidewater planters tended to be Episcopalians. According to an old local saying, there were many ways to go to heaven, but a gentleman would choose the Episcopalian way. | |

| Last words |
"We are not enemies, but friends," Abraham Lincoln had told his countrymen, imploring them to listen to "the better angels of our nature" and remain friends. But those angels could no longer be of help, for now the Confederates and the Yankees were mortal enemies. (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.) | |
