Lincoln’s Point of View

What is Lincoln’s point of view regarding the future of the country?

Lincoln knew that a divided nation just won’t work. He saw that a nation can not be half slave free and half slave.

Which statement from the excerpt shows his point of view?

“A house divided against itself cannot stand”

“I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free.”

Explain how the selected quote shows Lincoln’s point of view.

The first one shows how Lincoln says how a divided house cannot stand. For example, a family fighting each other because of sports teams. Half likes one team and the other likes another sports team. They fight till one team wins. In the end the family is not happy.  

The second one shows how A country cannot be strong half slave and half slave free. They need to choose one or the other.  

What is an historical idea or event that supports Lincoln’s point of view?

There were some compromises like the Missouri compromise, the compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. These compromises were made to support slaves in some states and to stop slavery in others. These compromises did not work as well as expected and could not have a permanent solution.
