If it is a crime to love the South, its cause and its President, then I am a criminal. I would rather lie down in this prison and die than leave it owing allegiance to a government such as yours [said to a Northern journalist].

“A Prayer for Twenty Millions”
there is not one . . .
determined, intelligent champion of
the Union cause who does not feel
that all attempts to put down
the Rebellion and at the same time
uphold its inciting cause [slavery]
are preposterous and futile--that the
Rebellion, if crushed out tomorrow,
would be renewed within a year
if Slavery were left in full vigor—
Horace Greeley,
New York Tribune

Lincoln’s reply to Greeley, August, 1862:
As to the policy I "seem to be pursuing" as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt.
I would save the Union My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.
I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
