1 The Republican Party Emerges Setting the Scene Chapter 16 section 4 Pg.473

2 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 thing. Abraham Lincoln predicts the coming of a great battle between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces. Pg.473The Republican Party Emerges Setting the Scene Chapter 16 section 4
