Using at least 3 sources (an encyclopedia, the Internet, or other resources), research the Lincoln-Douglas debates. Use your inf
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.
