00:00We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under
00:17God shall have a new birth of freedom, that government of the people, by the people, for
00:23the people, shall not perish from the earth.
00:31We can't tell our people they can vote yes on abolishing slavery unless at the same time
00:36we can tell them that you're seeking a negotiated peace.
00:39It's either the amendment or this confederate peace.

00:45Congress must never declare equal those whom God created unequal.
00:50Leave the constitution alone.
00:53We are stepped out upon the world stage now, with the fate of human dignity in our hands.
00:59Blood's been spilt to afford us this moment, now, now, now.

01:58of unborn millions to come.
02:04Shall we stop this bleeding?
02:07No.
