Question

can someone PLEASE HELP ME WITH HISTORY I WILL GIVE METALS

Answer 1

A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved—I do not expect the house to fall—but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.
—Abraham Lincoln, Springfield, Illinois, June 16, 1858
