1858 Debates: “House Divided” Speech
• 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. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new — North as well as South.

Keeping the Border States in the Union
– DE, MD, MO, and KY remained in the Union because of Union sentiment and the use of troops in these areas.

![Page 17: The Civil War 1861-1865 A Ride for Liberty-The Fugitive Slaves by Eastman Johnson.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5514efd7550346935c8b5cbd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

presidency– presidential item veto– Jefferson Davis attempted to increase
presidential powers, but failed.– “States’ rights” turned into a problem for
the South.

The Balance Sheet of War
