Preston Blair
- Preston Blair: I went to Richmond to talk to traitors, to smile at and plead with traitors, because it'll be spring in two months, the roads'll be passable, the spring slaughter commences.
- Abraham Lincoln: If the Blairs tell them to, no Republican will baulk at voting for the amendment.
- Montgomery Blair: No conservative Republican is what you mean.
- Preston Blair: All Republicans ought to be conservative. I founded this party, in my own goddamn home, to be a conservative anti-slavery party, not a hobby-horse for goddamn radical abolitionists.
- Preston Blair: Our Republicans ain't abolitionists. We can't tell our people they can vote yes on abolishing slavery unless at the same time we can tell them that you're seeking a negotiated peace.
- Preston Blair: Those Southern men are coming. I beg you, in the name of gentle Christ, sir.
- Abraham Lincoln: I understand.
- Preston Blair: Talk peace with these men.
- Abraham Lincoln: I understand, Preston.
