Stephen A. Douglas (1813 – 1861) was an American politician of the Democratic party, who lost the presidential election against Abraham Lincoln in 1860. He had been senator of the United States since 1858.

In the slavery matter, he defended <u>the principle of popular sovereignty</u> stating that each state should be able to decide (vote) on whether slavery should be allowed within its borders or not. In his debates against Lincoln he promoted the Freeport Doctrine, following the mentioned line of voting for the slavery issue, stating that each state should be able to rule out slavery if wishing so.

My grandfather was in the Vietnam War with a special operations unit and always found that the people back in America hated him. It didn't matter to him because he was doing what he thought was right. He lost some of his best buddies in the war and was called such bad names that I could never type or say. The Vietnam War was the first time that the troops didn't have American support and to many it would have hurt them. It hurt that our morale was low and it probably helped other countries with their morale because America didn't like their military anymore.
