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 -

"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 - that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of making
voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office,
nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to
this that there is a physical difference between the white and black
races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together
on terms of social and political equality."
-- Abraham Lincoln, Fourth Lincoln-Douglas Debate, September 18, 1858
