In my opinion, the formal language used in Abraham Lincoln's speech, "House Divided", creates a tone that is very confident and direct. Abraham does not seem to be afraid of the backlash his speech might cause and instead is very direct and blunt with what he believes. "In my opinion, it will not cease, until a crisis shall have been reached, and passed" (Lincoln, 5). This quote shows how Lincoln says his beliefs directly without sugar coating it to be in favor of those who may oppose. One can believe Lincoln did this so people would get the raw truth instead of a pretty lie. "Either the opponents of slavery, will arrest the further spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates will push it forward, till it shall become alike lawful in all the States, old as well as new--North as well as South" (Lincoln, 10). This quote from Abraham Lincolns speech also shows the direct tone Lincoln uses. As he supports his beliefs with the mostly likely outcome, he also puts a sense of confidence into his tone and continues to lack sugar coating of any sort. All in all, in the speech "House Divided" by Abraham Lincoln, the tone Lincoln uses is that of directness, bluntness, and confidence.

In conclusion, this the effect his language has on his tone.

Abraham Lincoln is known for his amazing language skills and use of that talent in his speeches. Specifically, Lincoln uses a formal and serious tone in his "House Divided" Speech. Some words that show this tone of his are 'ceased' and 'augmented', which are both found in paragraph 5. 'Ceased' usually has a negative connotation and is used in formal addresses, making the word accentuate the tone. 'Augmented' is a word that is educational sounding, which also helps the tone become formal.
The language directly affects the tone because tone is how something comes off to a reader or viewer. If someone says short simple words, they come off as less educated or knowledgeable as someone who would use big words. Also, language can make someone feel a feeling the author or viewer wants them to feel. If the author uses serious words, making a serious tone, then the reader will take the tone as serious and interpret it in a way that the author wanted. Abe is using this to his advantage to persuade and inform the delegates about the major future conflict that slavery will cause that is inevitable.

In Lincolns "House Divided Speech" the words and phrases he used in his speech help us figure out the tone. The tone helps us understand what way Lincoln wanted us to hear his speech.

This shows that Lincoln was very thorough and straight forward in what he had to say against slavery.
