Excerpt from The Flag Replaced on Sumter: A Personal Narrative Governor Pickens, the bustling and blustering State executive, thus addressed the populace: We are now one of the Confederate States. And they have sent us a brave and scientific officer, to whom the credit of this day's triumph is due. We have defeated their twenty millions. We have humbled the flag of the United States before the Palmetto and Confederate, and so long as I have the honor to preside as your chief magistrate, so help me God, there is no power on this earth shall ever lower from that fortress those flags, unless they be low ered and trailed in a sea of blood. I can here say to you it is the first time in the history of this country that the stars and stripes have been humbled. That flag has never before been lowered before any nation on this earth. But to-day it has been humbled, and humbled before the glorious little State of South Carolina. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
