- Territorial AccommodationStronger Fugitive Slave LawWashington D.C. Slave Market shut down (although private sales remained legal, as did slavery)
- Charles Sumner said of the case during debates over Reconstruction that it had been “born a putrid corpse,” becoming “at once a stench in the nostrils and a scandal to the court itself, which made haste to turn away from its offensive offspring.” (Dray, Capitol Men, 72)
- "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause." The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume V, "Letter to Horace Greeley" (August 22, 1862), p. 388.
- “When we show that we are men, we can then demand our liberty, as did the revolutionary fathers,” noted one black speaker at a Washington, DC church.
