Washington, August 22, 1862.
Hon. Horace Greeley:
Dear Sir. I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. ...

I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men every where could be free.
Yours,
A. Lincoln.
How do you defeat a good idea? As long as people have freedom to think, there will be good ideas.
When the liberals and their Ponzi scheme debt money and Keysian big-brother cruel bloated-government economics, are finally defeated, will they bow in defeat and finally go away?
How do we know that it's not you who's promoting "racism and biggotry," since the Confederate flag, obvious stands for things, other than that? Do I really need to spell out, what the Confederate flag, might be said to stand for? The southern states, history, heritage, when we used to be free, a collector's item, federalism and limitations on government. Or maybe just some person's choice for an avatar?
... you have no idea what this flag is truly about if you did you would salute
The North didn't "win" by the Constitution, so they must have "won" by government violence, which appears to be a growing problem, in this wicked "police state" age.
I expect a person's avatar to say something about them, and I find the Confederate Flag, to be within reason, and has nothing to do with an evil Nazi swastika, which can only represent but murder, Nazi eugenics, and dictator Hitler.
