Advanced US


In the video watched in class yesterday their was the following quote from Abraham Lincoln:

            “As a nation we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes." Soon it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this, I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretense of loving liberty--to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocrisy.”


What was he saying?  
Write me a well thought out paragraph answering this question and you could bossily receive 5 bonus points added to your "quiz grades" - due Tuesday (if you are willing)
