No Division
A house divided against itself cannot stand,” Abraham
Lincoln said on June 16, 1858. He had just thrown
his hat into the ring with the Republicans, who were
emerging as the antislavery advocates of the time.
Lincoln had been nominated for the U.S. Senate, oppos
ing Stephen Douglas, and the two gave
a series of public debates in Illinois to
jft showcase their positions. On the subject
of slavery, Lincoln was eloquent and
logical. Not only was slavery unjust, he
argued, but if allowed to continue with
no restrictions, it would eventually
undermine the jobs of all free
laborers. “In giving freedom to
the slave, we assure freedom to
the free,” Lincoln told Congress in December 1862.
BaJ promises are better broken than kept.
-Abe Lincoln
