Whig (nationalist) former Representative Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, speaking at the Funeral of Whig Senator Henry Clay, of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, calls for the preservation of slavery: “I think no wise man has perceived, how it [slavery] could be at once eradicated, without producing a greater evil, even to the cause of human liberty himself.”
