Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery,
I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
Author: Abraham Lincoln

The assertion that 'all men are created equal'
was of no practical use in effecting our separation from Great Britain
and it was placed in the Declaration not for that,
but for future use.
Author: Abraham Lincoln

"I am not now, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or political equality of the white and black races. I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor of intermarriages with white people. There is a physical difference between the white and the black races which will forever forbid the two races living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man." -Lincoln in his speech to Charleston, Illinois, 1858

Sorry people, but this has strayed far from the area of farriery.
