Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address

Lincoln’s 1855 letter to his close friend, Joshua Speed: “You know I dislike slavery, and you fully admit the abstract wrong of it. So far there is no cause of difference. But you say that sooner than yield your legal right to the slave... you would like to see the Union dissolved... I also acknowledge your rights and my obligations under the Constitution in regard to your slaves [yet] I confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down and caught and carried back to their stripes and unrequited toil; but I bite my lips and keep quiet... You ought rather to appreciate how much the great body of the Northern people do crucify their feelings, in order to maintain their loyalty to the Constitution and the Union.”

Lincoln (1855 letter to a Kentucky friend): “Can we, as a nation, continue together permanently—forever—half slave and half free?” Lincoln (1857 speech): “A house divided against itself cannot stand... I believe the government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.”
