“As a nation, we began by declaring that ‘All men are created equal.’ We now practically read it, ‘All men are created equal, except Negroes.’ Soon, it will read ‘All men are created equal, except Negroes, and Foreigners and Catholics.’ When it comes to this, I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty. To Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”
Abraham Lincoln
The promise of the Declaration of Independence is a promise of liberty for all people, not just people from the dominant ethnicity or creed.
Abraham Lincoln understood this basic truth.
Would that his political party had not turned away from it.
