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.

My whole life, when I was growing up, not one race has ever accepted me, ... So I never felt connected or attached to any race specifically.
