Lincoln-Douglas Debates Sophie Thompson And Ben Word-Sims

Who was Stephen Douglas? Attorney General of Illinois, Secretary of State, judge of the Supreme Court, and member of the House of Representatives Introduced the Kansas-Nebraska Act – big supporter of popular sovereignty

Who was Abraham Lincoln? He was a member of the first Republican party Was a self-educated lawyer and politician In 1846 he was elected to Congress as a Whig Broke is affiliation with the Whig party after the Kansas-Nebraska act

Lincoln Challenges Douglas Competing for Illinois senate seat Lincoln challenged Douglas to seven open- air debates throughout Illinois on the issue of slavery in the territories  Douglas made very dramatic speeches, while Lincoln used direct and plain language

Lincoln’s “Divided House” Speech "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

Positions on Slavery Douglas was a strong believer of popular sovereignty Lincoln believed that slavery was immoral, he called for gradualism and colonization

Divisive Arguments Lincoln tried to make Douglas look like a defender of the Dred Scott decision Douglas accused Lincoln of being an abolitionist and an advocate of racial equality

The Freeport Doctrine Lincoln asks Douglas a tough question in debate at Freeport – Can citizens of a territory vote to outlaw slavery? Douglas was forced to chose between Dred Scott decision and popular sovereignty Freeport Doctrine- Douglas says that the legislature of a territory can decide on slavery – gets around Dred Scott decision Helps Douglas win election, but angers southern Democrats

Douglas Wins Senate Seat Douglas wins, but his position widens the split between northern and southern Democrats Lincoln loses, but gains national attention for his view of slavery  Republicans consider him for presidential candidate  Debates help him win presidency in 1860
