Really, Mr. Lincoln, I have had enough of this show business.

The cause of the great War of the Rebellion against the United States will have to be attributed to slavery. For some years before the war began it was a trite saying among some politicians that "A state half slave and half free cannot exist. " All must become slave or all free, or the state will go down.
