Senator Douglas said during his debates with Old Abe that America " …was built by White men, for the benefit of White men and to their posterity forever," and that "… citizenship should only be conferred upon White people and to people of European descent, and not upon Negroes, Indians and other inferior races." Lincoln said when he was accused of trying to bring about the equality of the White and Black races: I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races-that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race {Speech at Charleston, Illinois, 1858}.
