01:20 Some of us was in the Second Kansas Colored
01:04 That there is a great
00:19 What violates natural law
00:39 Wood conclude his interminable gabble
01:37 You have a visitor
11:09 Back when I rode the legal circuit in Illinois
00:50 How the people love my husband
02:29 I have to do this
01:09 It was right after the revolution
00:12 I could write shorter sermons
01:01 The moral carcass of the gentleman from Ohio
00:10 I wanted you to have a look at this prospectus here
00:54 I can't listen to this anymore
00:51 Euclid's first common notion is this
00:33 The people elected me to represent them
00:16 Is out of order
00:14 The greatest measure of the Nineteenth Century
00:23 I don't know about myself
00:37 My vote ties us
00:30 I must make my decision
00:11 But I would rather stay
01:05 Not only of the millions now in bondage
00:29 Roll call concludes
00:08 Slavery is the only insult to the natural law
00:15 If you can look into the seeds of time
01:04 Maybe a negro colonel
00:10 We've made it possible for one another to do terrible...
01:02 Fondly do we hope
00:36 Thus fulfilling
00:13 By outward appearance
00:52 Gentlemen you have a visitor
00:03 It opens
00:15 The kind that hates niggers
00:08 My trust in him is marrow deep
00:42 Lincoln the capitulating compromiser
00:24 If you want to discuss peace with President Lincoln
00:30 I did say some colored men
01:01 Though I wanted to
00:36 I have to do this and I will do it
00:15 No you're going to tell a story
00:08 You are a democrat
00:32 The part assigned to me is to raise the flag which
00:12 I haven't noticed you
00:22 When the people disagree
00:15 Do you need company
00:24 I ought have done for Tad's sake
01:05 If we submit ourselves to law
00:41 Anyone who thinks that doesn't understand
00:49 I can't make sense of it
00:10 I don't hold with equality in all things
00:15 Don't waste that power
00:31 With malice toward none
00:15 Seward can't do it
00:12 No one has ever lived who knows better than you
00:09 Votes for women
00:22 Estimable colleagues
00:17 Liberality all around
00:16 That's what he said
00:52 And though it's imperceptible in the darkness
00:16 I want to see Willie
00:11 It's not illegal to bribe congressmen
00:08 See I'll be the only man over 15 and under 65
00:27 When you were a slave
00:59 Woe unto you sir You will answer to me
00:13 I believe I am smiling
00:20 Nothing surprises you
00:16 It's late
00:07 Deliver your own goddamn petition
00:28 What violates natural law
00:43 Have you lost your very soul
00:33 We're eager to be on our way to Washington
00:47 If the rebels surrendered next week
00:13 A gift for you
00:44 Read it to me again
00:20 The war will be over in a month
00:20 I am the president of the United States of America
00:25 When have I ever been so easily bamboozled
00:06 We have heard the chimes at midnight
00:23 I went to Richmond to talk to traitors
00:05 Thunder forth God of War
00:07 Shake thy hoary locks
00:11 Over in Pennsylvania
00:05 Sum a bitch gonna sit down
00:40 Dictators aren't susceptible to law
00:10 To which I always listen
00:58 We'll have to extemporize and experiment with what it...
00:04 Looks like he ate a bad oyster
00:10 Shall we stop this bleeding
00:07 Don't spend too much money on the flub dubs
