The Lincoln Example, and I've Learned So Much From You

John Avlon: If we believe in the American proposition of equality and liberty under law, then we have to be willing to stand up for it. The Lincoln example is in fact that he was not willing to compromise. He's where he needs to be to stop the spread of slavery, and he refuses to compromise. There has to be a point beyond which we will not let things go," Avlon says.
