“A house divided against itself cannot stand…. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free.” (Abraham Lincoln)
I believe that this
quote is very significant and at one point brought a lot of insight towards
attaining a better future for all. A
house (home) is a very important place where every living creature needs to live in order to survive, but what good is a home if it has too many problems
within or is too weak to support itself and stand? If a home is faulty, then that has a negative
effect on the people who live in it.
This quote was said in
President Abraham Lincoln’s anti-racism speech during the time period of racial
discrimination and hatred towards the Blacks in the U.S. Lincoln knew that all the hatred and
inequality in his country was tearing the nation apart, so he tried to abolish
it. After he passed the 13th
Amendment, which would end slavery in the U.S., he was assassinated and racism
continued on for many more years until after Martin Luther King.
