a good deal of our contemporary reverence for the declaration of independence owes as much or more to lincoln's elevation & recontextualization of the document as it does to the document itself, so it is with that in mind that i want to mark today with a few words from lincoln.
"I have often inquired of myself, what great principle or idea it was that kept this [Union] so long together."
"It was not the mere matter of the separation of the colonies from the mother land; but something in that Declaration giving liberty, not alone to the people of this country, but hope to the world for all future time."
