Our Destiny Is Largely In Our Hands.

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.

...i Recognize The Widest Possible Difference-so Wide, That To Receive The One As Good, Pure, And Holy, Is Of Necessity To Reject The Other As Bad, Corrupt, And Wicked. To Be The Friend Of One, Is Of Necessity To Be The Enemy Of The Other.

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.

Money Is The Measure Of Morality, And The Success Or Failure Of Slavery As A Money-making System, Determines With Many Whether...it Should Be Maintained Or Abolished.

If There's No Struggle, There's No Progress.
