A House Divided
The role that the issue of slavery played in the coming of the American Civil War has been debated by historians and lay people since the completion of the war. Many have read or heard the words of President Lincoln: “A house divided against itself shall not stand.” Those words were spoken by Mr. Lincoln in a speech he delivered at Springfield, Illinois on June 16, 1858. In the shadow of the coming of war, his words have ominous sense to them that certainly foretells the future. Interestingly, many have never read the entire speech, but only know that one line. Below is the entire speech that powerfully and eerily speaks to the reader almost 150 years after Mr. Lincoln delivered it.
