Introduced to Stowe, Lincoln is said to have remarked during the war he managed, "So you're the little woman who started this war."

I abhor war, but if there was ever one necessary to fight, that probably was it. Slavery itself was war with all its essentials, murder, torture, rape, plunder.

"The Half Has Never Been Told" is really shaking me.
