I am aware that in presenting myself as the advocate of the Indians and their rights, I shall stand very much alone.
Sam Houston Quotes
I would lay down my life to defend any one of the States from aggression, which endangered peace or threatened its institutions. I could do more for the union, but I wish to do more; for the destruction of the union would be the destruction of all the States. A stab in the heart is worse then a cut in a limb, for this may be healed.
