https://www.thelincolnproject.com • On June 16, 1858, Abraham Lincoln was chosen by the Republican State Convention in Springfield, Illinois, as their candidate for the U.S. Senate, running against Democrat Stephen A. Douglas. • That evening, Lincoln delivered his now famous House Divided speech in the Hall of Representatives. • The main phrase comes from a statement by Jesus recorded in the three synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke • From the speech: • ...Agitation has not only, not ceased, but has constantly augmented. • In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed. • '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.... • This clip from the narrative film Lincoln and Emancipation produced by The Lincoln Project® in 2009 features TLP founder and Lincoln Presenter Chris Small. • https://www.thelincolnproject.com
