...grandparents of present-day Southerners were occupied by a vicious army of their countrymen; they were told that they had less rights than black people who were once slaves; they had to face up to a brain-cleaving guilt: the young men of the region had begun a slaughter that resulted in nothing, killing other members of a national family and gaining simple retribution in return.

"Marriage is one of the few surviving forms of ritual slaughter...
Greeks who lived in Western Europe had conceived the notion of throwing off the Turkish yoke and unifying, their country as a sovereign nation. However fashionable in Paris and London, this was an alien idea in Greece, incomprehensible to the wild tribesmen who actually lived there. When unorganized slaughter of Turkish citizens began in 1821, partly as the result of agitation by the expatriates, Greek fighting forces consisted mostly of mutually hostile guerrilla bands.
