Lincoln Quote
Ulysses S. Grant: [Grant hands the Confederate peace commissioner's proposal back to them, covered in scribbled notes]Gentlemen, I suggest you work some changes into your proposal before you give it to the President. [Turns and walks away. Stephens follows]
Senator R.M.T. Hunter: We're eager to be on our way to Washington.
Alexander Stephens: Mr Lincoln tell you to tell us this?
Ulysses S. Grant: [Grant takes a cup of coffee from a steward]It says 'securing peace for our two countries' and it goes on like that.
Alexander Stephens: I don't know what you...
Ulysses S. Grant: There's just one country. You and I, we're citizens of that country. I'm fighting to protect it from armed rebels. [Pats Stephen's shoulder and goes to sit down]
Ulysses S. Grant: From you.
