Abraham Lincoln Quotes on Slavery:

·         "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."

Slavery is something we do talk about a lot and we all know now that it is a bad thing. However, we also know that people had to be shown this and it took a lot of resilience, fighting as well as patience to do so.

We are glad that we live in a time that none of us have to worry about anything like that happening. Especially to that extent of slavery, being seen as a lesser being and having less value then a family pet.

·         "Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."
