The " House Divided" speech that Buckwheat references was given by Abraham Lincoln on June 16, 1858, at what was then the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, after he had accepted the Illinois Republican Party's nomination as that state's US senator. Two years later Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th president of the United States and the Civil War started shortly after he was inaugurated in 1861.
