Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln articulated his belief that the government could not endure half slave and half free during his campaign speech in 1858, particularly in the context of his debates with Stephen A. Douglas. This idea was central to his views on the moral and political implications of slavery in the United States. Lincoln argued that the nation must ultimately become all one thing or all the other, reflecting his deep conviction against the expansion of slavery.

When Abraham Lincoln said that a house divided against itself could not stand, he was referring to the issue of slavery. He did not believe the US government could endure operating with one half allowing slavery and the other not.
