“ Let them beware of surrendering a political power which they already possess, and which if surrendered will surely be used to close the door of advancement against such as they and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon them till all of liberty shall be lost. ”
Abraham Lincoln, State of the Union Address (3 December 1861). copy citation
