Did Abraham Lincoln believe that the nation could not remain half democrat and half republican?

No. That is just a rather lame multiple-choice distractor. On June 16, 1858, when Lincoln was seeking the Republican nomination for US Senator from Illinois, he gave a speech since referred to as the "House Divided" speech. In part, he said 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. Lincoln's statement alluded to the battle over slavery, which was then legal throughout the South (as far north as Maryland and Delaware).


What did Abraham Lincoln do for Illinois?

Slavery was the key issue in the 1858 election campaign for the U.S. Senate in Illinois. One of the candidates Abraham Lincoln, believed that slavery should not be allowed in any states. His opponent, Stephen A. Douglas, believed that people should be allowed to decide. Lincoln's speeches made him a national political figure. In his famous "House Divided" speech, he said, "a house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free." His words alarmed people who were doing wrong.
