About This Quote

There was once a time when the United States of America was divided over slavery, and Civil War was looming. To save the country, Abraham Lincoln addressed the issue in his famous Gettysburg Address. He said, “Public sentiment is everything; ...With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it, nothing can succeed.” Lincoln recognized that there is no substitute for the will of the people.
