Values Debate INTRO TO LINCOLN - DOUGLAS

Bell Ringer Should the happiness of others be the primary motivator for moral action.

Overview Lincoln-Douglas Debate is a VALUE debate, meaning it is a debate about what ought to be rather than specific policy. It is usually a topic regarding the conflict between the rights of the individual opposed to the rights of the larger society. The topic changes every two months; it is chosen by the National Forensic League. ◦The National Speech & Debate Association (National Forensic League) one of four national organizations which direct high school competitive speech and debate events in the United States.

LINCOLN- DOUGLAS DEBATES IN 1858 The Lincoln-Douglas debates were a series of formal political debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas in a campaign for one of Illinois' two United States Senate seats. Although Lincoln lost the election, these debates launched him into national prominence which eventually led to his election as President of the United States.

Abraham Lincoln, Republican Lincoln was a relatively unknown at the beginning of the debates. In contrast to Douglas' Popular Sovereignty stance, Lincoln stated that the US could not survive as half-slave and half-free states. The Lincoln-Douglas debates drew the attention of the entire nation. Although Lincoln would lose the Senate race in 1858, he would beat Douglas out in the 1860 race for the US Presidency.

Stephan Douglas, Democrat In 1858, Stephen Douglas, a Democrat, was the incumbent Senator, having been elected in He had chaired the Senate Committee on Territories. He helped enact the Compromise of Douglas then was a proponent of Popular Sovereignty, and was responsible for the Kansas-Nebraska Act of The legislation led to the violence in Kansas, hence the name "Bleeding Kansas"

Illinois Republican Convention, 1858 In June, 1858, Illinois Republicans met in convention and nominated Lincoln as their candidate for the U.S. Senate. Senators were then chosen by the state legislature, so neither Douglas nor Lincoln appeared on the ballot in the subsequent election. Lincoln delivered his memorable "House Divided" speech at the convention, dramatically declaring that the "government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free."

JOHN BROWN – THE MARTYR

Assignment – Value Debate Considering the topic below, write a persuasive response in support or opposition of the prompt. Be sure to include evidence from a credible resource to support your position. Have you ever witnessed someone doing something wrong– whether a bully picking on someone weaker or someone committing a crime? If so, what did you do? Why? Do you think bystanders have a responsibility to intervene when they witness wrongdoing, and should we fault those who don’t? Why do some individuals rush to help rather than to escape?
