TEA [102]

Lincoln-Douglas debates were a series of debates between Stephen A Douglas a Democratic senator and Abraham Lincoln, who at the time was in a senatorial campaign for the Republican party.

The main cause for the debates was the issue of slavery into the territories, that gained major importance with the addition of new territories with the Mexican American War.

On the first debate, Douglas claimed that by advocating for slavery prohibition in the US the Republican Party aimed to miscegenate the nation, by mix-racing through sexual relations or marriage. Lincoln, on the other hand, had a different argument, he sustained that the Union could not remain united if the government remains “half slave half free” he wanted this way, to cease division by ending slavery.

On the second debate, Douglas responded with the Freeport Doctrine and sustained that the people of the US had the means to introduce or exclude slavery as they pleased and he also accused Lincoln of not accepting the Supreme Court decision on the Dred Scott case. Lincoln argued that the Courts decision allowed slavery into the free states and sustained that Douglas ignored the basic humanity of black people and that slaves also had an equal right to liberty.

The debates resulted in Douglas winning the seat in the Senate by 54-46, but the Debates propelled Lincoln into national political spotlight what gave him the opportunity to become president and beat Douglas as the Northern Democratic candidate in the process.

Compare and contrast life in medieval Europe versus ancient Greece. Consider politics, education, religion, and other elements o
SIZIF [17.4K]

The main differences between Ancient Greece and Medieval Europe can be seen in different sectors of society. First of all, political systems changed from Greek's democracy and the idea of the republic to monarchy and nobility driven kingdoms, which in retrospective were very similar to former Greek city-states, except that during the middle ages there the king was the full sovereign of the land while in Greek civilization they believed that the sovereign was the people.  

Another crucial element to take in consideration is the change of faith, monotheism and Christianity in particular changed the entire socio-political structure of society, while Greek politics were secular, during medieval times Christianism became closely tied with politics for more than 500 years, giving kings divine rights which allowed them to reign with absolute power. The development of Christianity in Europe also brought an important change in people's mindset towards other religions, there were perseptions and trials for heresy, apostasy, etc. It also unchained a series of wars called the crusades in order to recover places that were considered holy by Christianity.  


In the economy sector, during the middle ages slavery was no longer practised as it was in Ancient Greece, but it became into servitude through feudalism, the landowners will offer protection and land to peons and servants in exchange of revenue taxes from whatever is produced in that lord's land.  


In society there was a change of paradigm regarding on how to live life, Ancient Greeks considered life should be lived at its fullest given the limited amount, the idea of an afterlife wasn't focused on how your actions affect your destiny after you die. Christians during the middle ages were acting on the belief that how you behave in this life determines whether you go to heaven or hell. Therefore, people became more cautious, prudent and modest in their daily life in order to guarantee themselves a place in heaven.
