Abraham Lincoln, in addressing the push to expand slavery across the Union, stated in 1860, that the only thing that would convince pro-slavery advocates would be to
cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right.” He responded: “Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. ~ Abraham Lincoln
