" 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. " -Abraham Lincoln
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.

:patrice:I've never seen that picture of him before. I'm just going off of word of mouth when I wrote that. But, you do make a point.

I have never read anything alleging this, but I always questioned those two. If you look at both Eisenhower's and Hoover's younger pics....something just screams MIxed....but then again it could be the black and white photos...cuz truth be told, even babe ruth looks mixed, but he clearly isn't.

I've heard this about both Hoover and Eisenhower, but it really doesn't matter too much to me.

Hoover was just paranoid about unsettling the standard quo, more than he was being against black people.

I can't say much about Eisenhower.

How does the rest of the quote change what was posted? Bottomline: The slaves weren't a priority, the Union was. And that is not a judgement of Lincoln, but maybe people need to stop reciting all that Great Emancipator bullshyt :ld:

I dunno but my favorite part of his story is when he gets shot. His own security, left him alone to get shot in the back of the head by an actor. :mjlol: :snoop:

Have your favorite part of a his history be when a man who was doing something that to abolish slavery early in history gets shot in the head, brehs.

Yea, his main goal wasn't to 'free the slaves', but preserve the union. But the only way to preserve the union would be to free the slaves.

Lincoln said:
In the language of Mr. Jefferson, uttered many years ago, "It is still in our power to direct the process of emancipation, and deportation, peaceably, and in such slow degrees, as that the evil will wear off insensibly; and in their places be, pari passu [on an equal basis], filled up by free white laborers."

Lincoln said:
I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is physical difference between the two which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.

Lincoln said:
Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed b*stards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man. :ohhh:

^^^ No wonder they trying to make biracials feel white. :heh:
