Frases de Oliver P. Morton

Oliver Hazard Perry Throck Morton , mais conhecido como Oliver P. Morton, foi um político norte-americano do estado de Indiana. Ele serviu como o 14º governador de Indiana durante a Guerra de Secessão e foi um forte aliado do Presidente Abraham Lincoln. Durante a guerra, Morton reprimiu a Assembleia Geral de Indiana, que era controlada pelo Partido Democrata. Ele excedeu sua autoridade constitucional ao convocar a milícia estadual sem aprovação, e durante o período de supressão legislativa ele financiou o governo através de empréstimos privados e federais. Ele foi criticado por prender e deter inimigos políticos e suspeitos de simpatizar com o sul.

Durante seu segundo mandato como governador, após ser parcialmente paralisado por um acidente vascular cerebral, Morton foi eleito para o Senado dos Estados Unidos. Ele foi o líder dos Republicanos Radicais sobre a reconstrução dos Estados Unidos, e foi a favor de vários projetos de lei criados para punir e reformar os Estados Confederados. Em 1877, durante seu segundo mandato no senado, Morton sofreu um segundo acidente vascular cerebral que rapidamente agravou sua saúde; ele morreu mais tarde no mesmo ano. Sua morte foi lamentada em nível nacional e seu esquife foi visto por milhares de pessoas antes de ser enterrado no Cemitério Crown Hill em Indianápolis. Wikipedia

Speech (22 November 1860), as quoted in Indiana in the Civil War Era, 1850–1880: History of Indiana III https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/0871950502 (1995), by Emma Lou Thornbrough. Indianapolis: Indiana Historical Society, p. 102

“Every wolf in sheep's clothing, who pretends to preach the gospel, but proclaims the righteousness of man-selling and slavery—everyone who shoots down negroes in the streets, burns negro school-houses and meeting-houses, and murders women and children by the light of their own flaming dwellings, calls himself a Democrat. Every New York rioter in 1863, who burned up little children in colored asylums—who robbed, ravished and murdered indiscriminately in the midst of a blazing city for three days and nights, called himself a Democrat. In short, the Democratic Party may be described as a common sewer and loathsome receptacle into which is emptied every element of treason, North and South, every element of inhumanity and barbarism which has dishonored the age.”

“The leaders who are now managing the Democratic Party in this state are the men who at the regular session of the legislature in 1861, declared that, if an army went from Indiana to assist in puting down the rebellion, it must first pass over their dead bodies.”

Arraignment of the Democratic Party (June 1866)

“Every man who labored for the rebellion in the field, who murdered Union prisoners by cruelty and starvation, who conspired to bring about civil war in the loyal states, who invented dangerous compounds to burn steamboats and northern cities,, who contrived hellish schemes to introduce into northern cities the wasting pestilence of yellow fever, calls himself a Democrat. Every dishonest contractor who has been convicted of defrauding the government, every dishonest paymaster or disbursing officer who has been convicted of squandering the public money at the gaming table or in gold gambling operations, every officer in the army who was dismissed fur cowardice or disloyalty, calls himself a Democrat.”
