Connect to Self: "A house divided against itself cannot stand." - Abraham Lincoln
I think that he's trying to explain that anyone trying to accomplish something by themselves wouldn't make it without some help. I think he quoted this during the Civil War while the North fights against the South. The South was probably winning because the North fought them without allies, and only the support from other countries can help win the war.
