Mrs. Jolly Quotes:
-
William Seward: Madam, if the rebels surrendered next week, would you, at the end of this month, want Congressman Burton to vote for the Thirteenth Amendment?
Mrs. Jolly: If that was how it was, no more war an' all, I reckon Mr Jolly much prefer not to have Congress pass the Amendment.
William Seward: And... why is that?
Mr. Jolly: [looks at Seward in surprise] Niggers.
Mrs. Jolly: If he don't have to let some Alabama coon come up from Missouri and steal his chickens and his job, we'd much prefer that.
[Seward takes Mrs Jolly's letter, walks over to Lincoln and puts it on his desk]
William Seward: [quietly] The people. I begin to see why you're in such a great hurry to put it through.
-- Mrs. Jolly
