Sanders, CSA: NO, sir. Col. John Henry Thomas: Are you telling me that you intend to keep fighting? Maj. Sanders, CSA: Haven't we just proven it, sir? Col. John Henry Thomas: But why? Maj. Sanders, CSA: Because this is our land, and you're on it. Col. John Henry Thomas: We're all Americans. Maj. Sanders, CSA: Yes, sir... that's always been the saddest part of it. Col. John Henry Thomas: Good day, sir. Maj. Sanders, CSA: Colonel, thank you for your courtesy.
