“We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator by certain unalienable rights, that among these are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” - Thomas Jefferson

From "Lincoln 365," by Arnold Kunst

'We have as all will agree a free Government where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed.'
- Abraham Lincoln

‘Slavery was established by decree of Almighty God… it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation… it has existed in all ages, has been found among the people of the highest civilization, and in nations of the highest proficiency in the arts.’
- Jefferson Davis
