From the 'Cornerstone Speech'

The prevailing ideas entertained by [Thomas Jefferson] and most of the
leading statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution,
were that the enslavement of the African was in violation of the laws
of nature; that it was wrong in principle, socially, morally, and
politically ... Those ideas, however, were fundamentally wrong. They
rested upon the assumption of the equality of races. This was an error
It was a sandy foundation, and the government built upon it fell when
the "storm came and the wind blew."

Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its
foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth
that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination
to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new
government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this
great physical, philosophical, and moral truth.

Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all, it is
the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always
a simple matter to drag people along whether it is a democracy, or a
fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them that
they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of
patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same
in every country.
