Henry invokes the principles of the Revolutionary generation in defending the South. "We are struggling in this war for the right of self-government." Reunion is impossible: there is "a gulf of blood" between us. Southern criticism of President Davis does "incalculable injury" and gives "aid and comfort to the enemy."
