"I will admit no bond that holds me……" — Jefferson Davis

"I will admit no bond that holds me to a party a day longer than I agree to its principles. When men meet together to confer, and ascertain whether or not they do agree, and find that they differ, radically, essentially, irreconcilably differ, what belongs to an honorable position except to part? They cannot consistently act together any longer."

— Jefferson Davis
