“My paramount object in this struggle is
to save the Union.”

" 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."
