“I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which will ever forbid the two races living together in terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together, there must be the position of superior and inferior. I am as much as any other man in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.” The 16th President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.

It’s funny how a lot of people think that Lincoln was willing to help people of color. He only abolished slavery so the Civil War would end and the nation would stay together. It wasn’t for human rights.
