agree with Judge Douglas he is not my equal in many respects-certainly not in color, perhaps not in moral or intellectual endowment

Well that is pretty vile dontcha think? Who dies and made Lincoln God? How dare he say that blacks have less moral character and are not as intellectually endowed as others.
Gee I don't know. The same nerve that allowed Jeff Davis to say this?
"We recognize the negro as God and God's Book and God's Law in nature tells us to recognize him - our inferior, fitted expressly for servitude. Freedom only injures the slave. The innate stamp of inferiority is beyond the reach of change. You cannot transform the negro into anything one-tenth as useful or as good as what slavery enables him to be."
