Lincoln's "House Divided" speech

On June 16, 1858, at the Republican Illinois Convention in Springfield, Abraham Lincoln began a campaign against the US Senator in a speech later called "division of the House".

Lincoln believes that the ruling of the recent Supreme Court 's Dread Scott case is part of a democratic conspiracy that leads to legitimization of slavery in all states. Mentioning the court's decision to allow Dred Scott to be a slave even though he lives in a free state, he said, "The owner of Dred Scott can legally do that with Dread Scott Please do other people in Illinois, other free states, or a thousand slaves. "

Lincoln 's House Split Lecture: The "House Split" speech was a 1858 Republican speech before the State Council of Springfield, Illinois. It warns people that "self-divisive houses can not be built" and refers to slavery issues. Lincoln predicted in the speech that slaves would eventually become free. Freeportism: "freeportism" by Stephen Douglas points out that the elimination of slavery in a region may be decided by voters who refuse to establish a law to protect slavery. In 1858, the Southern people refused this doctrine because they did not abide by the rights of slavery. This reaction hurt him in the election.

In the 1950s, two giants of the American historic stage, Frederick Douglas and Abraham Lincoln began to progress the path of slavery integration. On June 16, 1858, Lincoln 's speech on "House division" declared that the country could not survive semi - slaves and semi - free. Both Douglas and Lincoln were inspired by the philosophy of freedom and equality included in the Declaration of Independence, but it is immoral to agree to slavery, they opposed the best way to abolish the system. Frederick Douglas was convinced that the Constitution is anti - slavery, but Lincoln claims that Congress does not approve the abolition of the southern system. According to Lincoln's decision, what the federal government can do is to prevent slavery from spreading to new territory. Lincoln wants slavery to die naturally only in the south.
