Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In his last speech, Lincoln said: "And then there will be some black men who can remember that with silent tongue, and clenched teeth, and steady eye, and well-poised bayonet, they have helped mankind on to this great consummation; while I fear there will be some white ones, unable to forget that with malignant heart and deceitful speech they have striven to hinder it. Still, let us not be over-sanguine of a speedy final triumph. Let us be quite sober. Let us diligently apply the means, never doubting that a just God, in his own good time, will give us the rightful result. [...] And for their benefit I add: that those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it." These statements indicate that Lincoln supported limited black suffrage.
