A new feature presentation starting tonight on Roku, "The Life of Abraham Lincoln." You can find out how to add our Roku Channel here: http://thestoryofliberty.intuitwebsites.com/Roku-channel.html President Lincoln's remarks in Springfield created an image of the danger of slavery-based disunion, and it rallied Republicans across the North. Along with the Gettysburg Address and his second inaugural address, this became one of the best-known speeches of his career. The best-known passage of the speech is: "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." Mark 3:25: And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Matthew 12:22-28: A House Divided Cannot Stand Luke 11:17: But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
