But Fight We Must; And Conquer We

A Man Is About As Happy As He Makes Up His Mind To Be.

In Giving Freedom To The Slave, We Assure Freedom To The Free.

Our Political Problem Now Is, "can We As A Nation Continue Together Permanently - Forever - Half Slave And Half Free?"

...i Am Exceedingly Anxious That This Union, The Constitution, And The Liberties Of The People Shall Be Perpetuated In Accordance With The Original Idea For Which That Struggle Was Made, And I Shall Be Most Happy Indeed If I Shall Be An Humble Instrument In The Hands Of The Almighty, And Of This, His Almost Chosen People, For Perpetuating The Object Of That Great Struggle.

If I Could Save The Union Without Freeing Any Slave, I Would Do It.
