Explain, in your own words, what Lincoln meant when he said: "A house divided against itself 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."
