Arlo Kasper: Old Abraham Lincoln
Quotes
-
Old Abraham Lincoln : [In his final interview in Montreal in June 1905, shortly before his death] I failed to see it. The abolitionists understood what consequences would be. They knew it was always about the negro, but I was blind. Now I see. I see what our once great country has become. I only wish that I had truly cared for the negro. Truly cared for his freedom, for his equality. I used him; now I am used. Now, I too am a negro without a country. I pray that someday, the colored people of Confederate America will be free. A nation stained with the blood of injustice cannot stand. I only regret that... I shall not live to see it fall.
