:21:07
Won't thee come in, friend?
:21:09
Thank you.
:21:10
You're the minister of this meeting?
:21:13
I am. One of them.
:21:30
My name is Major Harvey.
:21:32
- Won't thee sit down, friend?
- Thank you, no.
:21:36
I've had the duty placed upon me of
speaking to you Quakers about the war.
:21:41
It is a matter much on our minds...
:21:43
...and in our prayers.
:21:45
But your men don't fight in it.
:21:47
Some have.
:21:49
But you do not encourage them.
:21:51
We do not encourage them.
:21:54
Ma'am, the Union has endured
two years of bloody civil war.
:21:58
Thousands have given their lives in
battle to free our country from slavery.
:22:04
We are opposed to slavery.
:22:07
But we do not believe it right
to kill one man to free another.
:22:13
Ma'am, it's not going to be a question
of fighting for freedom or a principle...
:22:18
...but of protecting our own towns,
our own homes, from attack.
:22:30
Would you men stand by while others
die to protect you?
:22:46
You look like a boy who could give a
good account of himself.
:22:49
I've been tempted to fight.
:22:51
I guess the Good Lord knows why.
:22:56
I mean, sometimes I get the
sinful wish to get into a scrap.
