Servility had incubated rage, With sword and arm to strike, at given stage, Spasmodic spirits grew eccentric, wild, The Constitution in their wrath reviled, Defying power ordained by peace and war, Distorting truth that virtue must abhor ; State prejudices grew as sparks to flame, While loyal Southerners their madness blame, Fire-eaters and philosophers debate, As sister States unsheathed the sword of fate. 20 Lincoln's address. Our nation had a grand, exalted birth, And therefore "shall not pe...rish from the earth. " Dark pigment cell a mighty power concealed, Mulatto with Caucasian blood revealed — Preponderance increased no right or claim — The master held all rights, in moral shame ; The wrongs of man to man compounded hate, And no relief from heaven, or of State.

On quiv'ring scale the poise of war was hung, Two flags on native soil, to breezes flung, Exaggeration's secessional shuttle drove, And web of conflict in excitement wove, Until the land, from rivers to the sea, The threatened battle-ground between the free ; Great brains and hearts, devoted to each cause, Then rushed to arms without dissenting pause ; The force of war's upheaval moved each one, Conviction taking sides, from sire to son.
