Abraham Lincon if he was invited to the Boston tea party

Fellow countrymen - Americans south, as well as north, shall we make no effort to arrest this? Already the liberal party throughout the world, express the apprehension, “that the one retrograde institution in America, is undermining the principles of progress, and fatally violating the noblest political system the world ever saw.” This is not the taunt of enemies, but the warning of friends.

I can be very presidential. I jokingly say, I can be more presidential than any president that this country has ever had except for Abraham Lincoln.

When we were the political slaves of King George, and wanted to be free, we called the maxim that “all men are created equal” a self-evident truth; but now when we have grown fat, and have lost all dread of being slaves ourselves, we have become so greedy to be masters that we call the same maxim “ a self-evident lie.” The fourth of July has not quite dwindled away; it is still a great day - for burning fire-crackers!!!

But you will not abide the election of a Republican President! In that supposed event, you say, you will destroy the Union; and then, you say, the great crime of having destroyed it will be upon us! That is cool. A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear, and mutters through his teeth, “Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you, and then you will be a murderer!”

This is a world of compensations; and he who would be no slave, must consent to have no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.

That cool quote by Abraham Lincoln
