Fanny Kemble
“Those New England states, I do believe, will be the noblest country in the world in a little while. They will be the salvation of that very great body with a very little soul, the rest of the United States; they are the pith and the marrow, heart and core, head and spirit of that country.’’
— From British actress Fanny Kemble’s A Year of Consolation (1847)
