Abraham LincolnStudy the Constitution. Let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislatures, and enforced in courts of justice.
Abraham LincolnI do not wish to be misunderstood upon this subject of slavery in this country. I suppose it may long exist, and perhaps the best way for it to come to an end peaceably is for it to exist for a length of time. But I say that the spread and strengthening and perpetuation of it is an entirely different proposition. There we should in every way resist it as a wrong, treating it as a wrong, with the fixed idea that it must and will come to an end.
