•Which statement from the excerpt shows his point of view? 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

Like what is he trying to say?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, I would say "A house divided against itself cannot stand" becauase he is trying to talk about the civil war and the nation was split at the time.
