The Daily Dispatch: December 6, 1862., [Electronic resource], Lincoln's Message. (search)
must disenthrall ourselves, and then we shall save our country. Fellow citizens we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this Administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance, or insignificance can spare one or an other of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We — even we here --hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed — this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous just — a way which, if followed, the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless. Abraham Lincoln. December 1, 1862.
