I Expose Slavery In This Country, Because

Viewing The Man From The Genuine Abolitionist Ground, Mr. Lincoln Seemed Cold, Tardy, Weak And Unequal To The Task. But, Viewing Him From The Sentiments Of His People, Which As A Statesman He Was Bound To Respect, Then His Actions Were Swift, Bold, Radical And Decisive. Taking The Man In The Whole, Balancing The Tremendous Magnitude Of The Situation, And The Necessary Means To Ends, Infinite Wisdom Has Rarely Sent A Man Into The World More Perfectly Suited To His Mission Than Abraham Lincoln.

If There Is No Struggle, There Is No Progress....this Struggle May Be A Moral One; Or It May Be A Physical One; Or It May Be Both Moral And Physical; But It Must Be A Struggle. Power Concedes Nothing Without A Demand. It Never Did And It Never Will.

A Slave Is Someone Who Sits Down, And Waits For Someone To Free Them.

I Have One Great Political Idea... That Idea Is An Old One. It Is Widely And Generally Assented To; Nevertheless, It Is Very Generally Trampled Upon And Disregarded. The Best Expression Of It, I Have Found In The Bible. It Is In Substance, "righteousness Exalteth A Nation - Sin Is A Reproach To Any People." This Constitutes My Politics, The Negative And Positive Of My Politics, And The Whole Of My Politics... I Feel It My Duty To Do All In My Power To Infuse This Idea Into The Public Mind, That It May Speedily Be Recognized And Practiced Upon By Our People.

It Was A Glorious Resurrection, From The Tomb Of Slavery, To The Heaven Of Slavery. My Long-crushed Spirit Rose, Cowardice Departed, Bold Defiance Took Its Place; And I Now Resolved That, However Long I Might Remain A Slave In Form, The Day Had Passed Forever When I Could Be A Slave In Fact.
