To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His first speech opened with the memorable words, "A house divided against itself can- not stand. I believe this government cannot endure 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. " He planted himself squarely upon the proposition that slavery was "a moral, social and political wrong". The contest was the eternal conflict between right and ...wrong. It was no longer a question of more political expediency. His whole moral nature was aroused. But he was no idealist ; he was a practical, hard-headed man of affairs. He knew through and through the principles of the three great char- ters of our liberties, the Declaration of Independence, the Ordinance of 1787, which prohibited slavery forever from the northwest territory, and the Constitution. This combi- nation of conscience, common sense and knowledge of the subject made him invincible.
