:51:01
This kind of power can do great harm.
:51:06
We have seen more suffering
than any man should ever see...
:51:11
...and if there is going to be an end to it,
it must be an end that justifies the cost.
:51:18
Now, somewhere out there
is the Confederate Army.
:51:24
They claim they are fighting
for their independence, for their freedom.
:51:29
Now, I cannot question their integrity.
:51:32
I believe they are wrong,
but I cannot question it.
:51:36
But I do question a system that defends
its own freedom while it denies it to others.
:51:40
To an entire race of men.
:51:44
I will admit it, Tom, war is a scourge.
But so is slavery.
:51:49
It is the systematic coercion
of one group of men over another.
:51:55
It has been around since
the book of Genesis.
:51:58
It exists in every corner of the world.
:52:02
But thas no excuse for us
to tolerate it here...
:52:04
...when we find it right before
our very eyes, in our own country.
:52:14
As God is my witness, there is no one
I hold in my heart dearer than you.
:52:21
But if your life or mine is part of the price
to end this curse and free the Negro...
:52:31
...then let Goïs will be done.
