President Lincoln's appeal to the border states... Brady's photographs...

On July 12 Abraham Lincoln invited the senators and representatives from the border states to hear his offer of compensated emancipation to their states' slaves. He told them that if they had accepted gradual compensated emancipation back in March that "...the war would now be substantially ended." He believed that if the seceded states saw that the border states would give up their slaves and never join their cause, those seceded states would quickly surrender.

Lincoln closed asking for due consideration. "...You are patriots and statesmen; and, and such, I pray you, consider this proposition; and, at the least, commend it to the consideration of your states and people..."  He continued that "...Our common country is in great peril, demanding the loftiest views, and boldest action to bring it speedy relief. Once relieved, it's form of government is saved to the world; it's beloved history, and cherished memories are vindicated; and it's happy future fully assured, and rendered inconceivably grand."
Following Lincoln's address is the "Reply of the Majority" being 20 Congressmen of the border states who largely spurned Lincoln's offer. This is followed by the "Reply of the Minority" being eight men who approved of Lincoln's offer.
