Abraham Lincoln on Freedom
← Back to Abraham Lincoln Profile
“The Confederacy stands for slavery and the Union for freedom.”
“I intend no modification of my oft-expressed wish that all men everywhere could be free.”
“This is a world of compensation; and he would be no slave must consent to have no slaves. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”
