16 juin 1858 - Abraham Lincoln's "House Divided" Speech

Description:

the reason everyone their mom and their uncle Gerald quotes the House Divided speech is because it became pretty famous as soon as it was given. Lincoln wasn't even all that well known at the time but the speech helped put him on the political map. Plus that image of the divided house was, well pretty accurate. The peace that the Compromise of 1850 kinda sorta brokered was clearly short lived.
