But you had Tennessee and North Carolina regiments. My constitu- ents were so attached to the Union that they left their families and homes between sunset and sunrise and crossed the State line under cover of the dark to enlist in the Union Army. " Lincoln's political sagacity never lost sight of the open or secret Union feeling in the border States. If he had lost sight of it the war for the Union would have failed. But Lincoln's wisdom was shown not only in encouraging the Union feeling of th...e border States, but in controlling the radical anti-slavery feeling of New England, which would have converted the war for the preservation of the Union into a war for the abolition of slavery. If this radi- cal feeling had not been kept in check during the early part of the war, the Union would have been dissolved and slavery would not have been abolished. There were anti-slavery disunionists in Massachusetts just before the outbreak of the war. One was Wendell Phillips. He called the con- stitution, which permitted slavery as a state institution, "a league with death and a covenant with hell.
