The video discusses Abraham Lincoln's early views on slavery and his famous 'A House Divided' speech. Lincoln argued that the nation could not endure permanently half slave and half free.

Lincoln's speech highlighted the moral and economic reasons for ending slavery and emphasized the need for a unified nation, either entirely free or entirely slave-holding.
