“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

“Let me tell you what is coming. You may, after the sacrifice of countless millions of
treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives win Southern independence. But I doubt it,

avalanche.” Sam Houston-1861
