Lincoln believes that the United States will either exist as country that allows slavery or a country that outlaws slavery. He argues that the US cannot continue on as a half slave and half free country. This is evident from the following two quotes:
1) "<span>I believe this government cannot endure permanently half-slave and half-free."
2) "</span><span>It will become all one thing or all the other. "
These quotes are both accurate representations of how Lincoln feels that the country can't exist as having slavery in some places and outlawing slavery in others. The Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act all support his view. These three events were all attempts to solve the issue of slavery in the US. However, none of them are successful in providing a long term solution for this institution.
