This question asks for an essay, which is a task that only you can complete. However, we can provide some information that can help you start your work.

The Cold War was a period in history in which the Soviet Union and the United States (along with their respective allies) engaged in an ideological and geopolitical struggle for global influence. While the United States argued that its main objective was to spread democracy all over the world, I believe that the politics of this time were mainly dominated by a desire to be the most influential country in the world.

This is supported by the fact that many of the decisions that the United States   made during this time period seem motivated more by a desire to compete with the Soviet Union than to benefit other countries. For example, the Space Race had no impact on democracy abroad. Nevertheless, it was an essential component of the Cold War and of gaining preeminence over the Soviet Union. Similarly, rivalry in sports and nuclear arsenal development are more closely related to a struggle for geopolitical influence than a desire to spread democracy.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

<u>Lincoln :</u>

- believed slavery should not spread

- believed slavery embarrassed the United States in the eyes of the world

<u>Douglas :</u>

- believed states should decide if they want to allow slavery

- believed blacks and whites were not equal

Explanation :

Lincoln used the establishment of slavery as his main platform during the presidential election. He believed that there is no justifiable cause to enslave other human beings, even if we look at it from both economic and human rights perspective.

In economic perspective, industrial revolution have created a way for business to mass produce their goods without needing the work of slaves anymore. In human rights perspective, Lincoln believe that humans are created equal regardless of the color of their skin.

Other Industrialized nations such as England has abolish slavery for around 30 years at that time (in 1833). The fact that United States still did it was an embarrassment in the eyes of the world.

Douglas Believed the exact opposite. He believed that white people are superior to the Blacks. So it is in their divine rights to justify enslaving and 'guide' them. He also believe that the federal government shouldn't determine whether slavery should exist or not. All of that power should be given to the stats.
