“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races,…and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races…while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

“I have said a hundred times, and I have now no inclination to take it back, that I believe there is no right, and ought to be no inclination in the people of the free States to enter into the slave States, and interfere with the question of slavery at all. I have said that always.”

Here endeth the lesson….
