three quarters of a century to develop the
moral force that was behind the man who
wrote the proclamation of emancipation"
Moral force Why. the history of the times
and the recollection of men yet living prove
that it was physical force. and that the man
who wrote the proclamation would never
have written it if the South had consented
10 come back into the Union, and that it was
written with no idea of beneftipg the negro,
but only as means of weakening the phys
ical power of the Confederacy and of
strengthening that of the North.
