What does this quote from Abraham Lincoln mean? “I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free.”

Do you wan a shoter or longer answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Short

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have not studied the man or the time period in depth, but I would assume he means that the government cannot function if half its people agree to slavery and half do not. He would be advocating for a unified stance on slavery. Short enough?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah thanks.
