 Warm up: 13-4

Read part of Lincoln's speech. 
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 — 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. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further 
spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the 
belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates
 will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old
 as well as new — North as well as South.

In a Few sentences, explain the speech and its 
importance in the Civil War Era
