""We must free the slaves or be ourselves……" — Abraham Lincoln

""We must free the slaves or be ourselves subdued. The slaves were undeniably a element of strength to those who had their service, and we must decide whether that element should be with us or "against us". Emancipation, will strike at the heart of the rebellion." Said to Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles."
