<注意>hints：Illinois;Abraham Lincoln
A young politician from Illinois believed that this was not a local issue, but a national one. His name was Abraham Lincoln. He agreed that the south could keep its slaves, but he fought to keep slavery out of the territories. Lincoln thought that over time slavery would end. "A house divided against itself cannot stand," he said. "This government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free." The south threatened to leave the union if Lincoln became president. After Lincoln won the election, some southern states began leaving the union before he started working as president. Could Lincoln hold the country together?
來自伊利諾伊州的年輕政治家認為這不是一個局部問題，而是一個國家問題。他的名字是亞伯拉罕林肯。他同意南部可以保持它的奴隸，但他爭取保持領土的奴隸制。林肯認為隨著時間的推移奴隸制會結束。 “自我分裂的房子無法忍受，”他說。“這個政府不能忍受永久半奴隸和半自由。”如果林肯就任總統(tǒng)，南方受到威脅要離開聯(lián)盟。林肯在大選中獲勝后，一些南方的州開始在他開始擔任總統(tǒng)工作之前離開聯(lián)盟。林肯能掌控這個國家嗎？
