''From where shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.'' Who said this? What year?

“In the opinion of the court, . . . the language used in the Declaration of Independence [“that all men are created equal”], show[s], that neither the class of persons who had been imported as slaves their descendants, whether free or not, were included in the . . words used in that memorable instrument... - R. Taney, Dred Scott v Sanford

They [African-Americans] had for more than a century before been regarded as beings of an inferior order . . so far inferior, that they had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit." - R.

If the people of Kansas want a slaveholding State, let them have it; and if they want a Free State they have a right to it; and it is not for the people of Illinois, or Missouri, or New York, or Kentucky, to complain, whatever the decision of the people of Kansas may be upon that point. - S. Douglas, 1858 debate

19 . . . there is no reason in the world why
the negro is not entitled to all the natural rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. I hold that he is as much entitled to these as the white man. I agree with Judge Douglas he is not my equal in many respects---certainly not in color, perhaps not in moral or intellectual endowment. But in the right to eat the bread, without leave of anybody else, which his own hand earns, he is my equal and the equal of Judge Douglas, and the equal of every living man. " - A. Lincoln, 1858 debate
