With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
nope, that was Benjamin Franklin
Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Author of the book
Even though Lincoln did not approve of slavery throughout his life, he realized it would be improbable that blacks and whites could live with equality, since they had to deal with too many prejudices. During the Lincoln-Douglas debate at Charleston on September 18, 1858, Lincoln stated: "I will say then that I am not, nor have I ever been in the favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races . . . There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I... am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race ... I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position that the negroe should be deprived everything." It must be remembered also that an abolitionist could not have been elected president.
I suppose you could say that because a patriot is someone who is very supportive of his/her's country. So I guess yes, yes he was.
Lincoln believed it was important to keep these borders states in union, even though that were slave states. That is why in 1861 he continued to say that his aim was to hold the united states together, not to abolish slavery.
Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address was about the Southern states that were trying to secede. He said that the Union was could not be separated and said he did not want to send soldiers to the South.

Yes Abraham Lincoln did say this quote during the Gettysburg Address.
Abraham Lincoln, like many, expected the war to be a quick and bloodless war. The idea that the war would be just that was alluded to in the Gettysburg address. \"The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.\"

In his inaugural address he declared that: ... "I have no intention to interfere, either directly or indirectly, in the institution of slavery in those states where it exists. I think I have no legal right to do, and I have no inclination to do so"...
You are a good president.
"...of the people, by the people, and for the people..." is a section taken from the Gettysburg Address given by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863, at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
It is hard to say what an embossed print of Abraham Lincoln would be worth. It would depend on the condition and the collectibility of the print.
President-elect Abraham Lincoln relied on his own ideas when drafting what would be his inaugural address in March of 1861. He did however, study three sources of material that would help him make this very important speech. Lincoln carefully studied President Andrew Jackson's proclamation against Nullification. He also relied on Henry Clay's speech on behalf of the Missouri Compromise of 1850. From Daniel Webster, Lincoln studied Webster's speech of 1830 opposing Nullification.
