  14. “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.” Lincoln, 1858

  15. “Let me tell you what is coming. You may, after the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives win Southern independence. But I doubt it, the North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction…they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of almighty avalanche.” Sam Houston-1861
