“Our Federal Union - It Must Be Preserved”
“If Lincoln freed the slaves and preserved the Union, how come'Lincolnesque' just means tall?”
“Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality”
“The middle class of America must pay some federal income taxes or this will no longer be America.”
“The fact is that our Union rests upon public opinion and can never be cemented by the blood of its citizens...If it can not live in the affections of its people, it must die.”
“Mr. President, I wish to speak today, not as a Massachusetts man, nor as a Northern man, but as an American. I speak for the preservation of the Union. Hear me for my cause.”
