Every one of you for being a wonderful attentive audience. Thank you so much. [ applause ] questions for our speaker . Lincoln approached notnothing voters during the 1860 campaign. Did he announce them or try to win them over to the republican . Or how did he fdo that . He said how do you want to welcome those people . I will welcome the nonothings if they will accept in the entirety the republican platform, which does not include exclusion. When lincolns people went out and campaigned and somebody would say, well, what does your boy think about immigration . Lincoln instructed them to tell them that there will be no prejudice at all based on immigration and ethnicity, and theyre more than welcome to vote for the republican ticket, meaning him, but they should not expect the naturalization laws will be increased. They should not expect theres going to be any one group preferable for the other. They should expect there immigrants to fulfill the labor shortage that the civil war created
