More from Lincoln
We are once again asked - nay, commanded - to consider a proposed thirteenth amendment which, if passed, shall set at immediate liberty four million coloreds while manacling the limbs of the white race in America. If it is passed - but it shall not pass!
Every member of the House loyal to the Democratic Party and the constituents it serves shall oppose!
Abraham Lincoln In times like this, I'm best alone.
