TEXT 1: "House Divided Speech' by Abraham Lincoln, Delivered in Springfield, Illinois, on June 16, 1858
"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 -1 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, tillit
shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new-North as well as South
TEXT 2: Emancipation Proclamation by Abraham Lincoln, January 1, 1863
Now, therefore 1, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, by virtue of the power in me vested as
Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States in time of actual armed rebellion against
the authority and govern hent of the United States, and as a fit and necessary war measure for
suppressing said rebellion, do order and designate as the States and parts of States wherein the
people thereof respectively, are this day in rebellion against the United States
(and) do order and declare that all persons held as slaves within said designated States, and parts of
States, are, and henceforward shall be free, and that the Executive government of the United States,
including the military and naval authorities thereof, will recognize and maintain the freedom of said
