“The suggestion of denying any measure of their full political rights to such a great group of our population as the colored people is one which, however it might be received in some other quarters, could not possibly be permitted by one who feels a responsibility for living up to the traditions and maintaining the principles of the Republican Party. Our Constitution guarantees equal rights to all our citizens, without discrimination on account of race or color. I have taken my oath to support that Constitution.” FeelsMightPoliticalPartyRaceResponsibilityPrinciplesSupportTakenRightsGroupsColorCitizensRepublicanEqualTraditionAccountsConstitutionPopulationDiscriminationCivil RightsAfrican AmericanGuaranteesQuartersSuggestionsRepublican PartyMaintainingEqual RightsOathPolitical Rights Author:Calvin Coolidge

“With respect to those points, on which the declaration of Scripture is positive and decisive, as, for instance, in asserting the low antiquity of the human race; the evidence of all facts that have yet been established in Geology coincides with the records of Sacred History and Profane Tradition to confirm the conclusion that the existence of mankind can on no account be supposed to have taken its beginning before that time which is assigned to it in the Mosaic writings.” WritingHumansFactsScienceRaceExistenceTakenRecordsMankindLowsEvidenceTraditionAccountsSacredScriptureConclusionInstanceHuman RaceDeclarationAntiquityGeologyProfaneMosaics Author:William Buckland
