<h2>Answer: Abraham Lincoln </h2>

Explanation:

The seven debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas, focused on the issues of slavery, morals and values. It should be noted that at that time, <u>Lincoln was the candidate of the Republican Party for the United States Senate of Illinois, and Stephen Douglas was a senator and candidate of the Democratic Party. </u>

These debates were the first of their kind at that time, whose format was that one candidate would speak for 60 minutes, then the other candidate would speak for 90 minutes, and then the first candidate would be allowed a 30-minute reply.

These debates caused such a stir, that there is currently a model of debate based on those carried out by these two politicians in 1858.

What was life like for African Americans in the years right before Taft's term in office?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

African-Americans were among the disfranchised groups of American society in the late 19th century-early 20th century. Most blacks lived in the South by 1908. The Jim Crow laws had erected powerful barriers to effective equality and the exercise of black political rights, imposing literacy tests and poll taxes which made them very hard to register for voting. There were also fewer economic opportunities and education chances for them.
