"I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in the favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position. I have never said anything to the contrary."
--- Quote from Abraham Lincoln, "Lincoln's Reply to Stephen Douglas in Ottawa, Illinois on August 21, 1858," in Abraham Lincoln: His Speeches and Writings, by Roy P. Basler.
