Excerpt from Douglas, Lincoln and the Nebraska Bill Let me anticipate by the reminder that the alleged offense of Douglas in the Nebraska compromise lay in substituting this interdiction of nature for the positive, but as Clay pointed out, temporary interdiction of a law of congress, known as the first, or Missouri, compromise.

Excerpt from Senator Stephen A. Douglas and the Germans in 1854 With the passage of the Kansas - Nebraska bill in 1854 Stephen A. Douglas reached the zenith of his power and fame. In the shocks and storms of that momentous struggle his picturesque and potent character stood forth triumphant. His victory, however was the beginning of the end of his influence; for it let loose the cosmic forces in opposition that co-ordinated and concentrated in the person of Abraham Lincoln, who rived and sundered his strength and finally overwhelmed him and drove the guardians of slavery from the seats of authority. In the time at my disposal I wish to deal with Some of the rela tions of the Germans to the storm of opposition that suddenly darkened the political heavens in January, 1854, and culminated and broke with terrific force upon the head of Senator Douglas because of his part. In the introduction and passage of the Nebraska bill that worked the repeal of the Missouri Compromise. It is not my purpose to discuss the pros and cons of Senator Doug las' bill or his course in respect of the Missouri Compromise, or his character or consistency as a statesman, or the justice of the conduct of the Germans in regard to the Nebraska bill and its author. What the Germans did, why and how they acted, and the consequences to Douglas and to themselves - these constitute my objectives. Even thus limited, it is obvious that only a general outline of the chief events and a sum mary of major facts are feasible if the objectives contemplated are compassed.

Excerpt from Lincoln: The Man and the Statesman Acquaintance with the lives of great men and women is one of the best means of setting right ideals and developing good character. Lincoln's young soul was infused with the life of Washing ton. This sympathetic sketch cannot fail to lead to admiration of Lincoln as a man, and admira tion usually leads to imitation. On the other hand, the young student can, in this brief story, get a clear idea of the real issues be tween the North and the South, through the study of the kansas-nebraska Act, the Dred Scott case, the lincoln-douglas debates, the question of State Rights, and the Thirteenth Amendment.

This authoritative edition of the Lincoln-Douglas debates from a leading Lincoln historian brings to life the passions that divided nineteenth-century America. The seven debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas held during the Illinois senatorial race of 1858 include some of the most important statements in American political history. Taken together, they embody the nation’s dramatic struggles over the issues that would lead to the Civil War: the virtues of a republic and the evils of slavery. So contentious were these debates that two newspapers attempted to record and publish the proceedings verbatim. In this acclaimed book, Lincoln historian Harold Holzer brings us as close as possible to what Lincoln and Douglas actually said. Using transcripts of Lincoln’s speeches as recorded by the pro-Douglas newspaper, and vice-versa, he offers the most reliable and accurate record of the debates available. Also included are background on the sites, crowd comments, and a new introduction. “A vivid, boisterous picture of politics during our most divisive period. . . . This fresh, fascinating examination . . . deserves a place in all American history collection[s].”—Library Journal

Excerpt from Lincoln-Douglas Debate American history, reveals human nature deal= ing with momentous problems, and illuminates the methods by which the great art of public speech is used to influence public conduct in a great epoch. Because Lincoln and Douglas, in the course of the debate, each made references to their past records, it is necessary to have in mind the brief sketch, here given, of the life history of each. And because the debate was on the questions of slavery, and referred so frequently to the history of that question, it is necessary to here give first a very brief review of at least those facts, in the history of slavery, to which the speakers refer. The speakers inferred that their hearers had fresh in memory the recent history of slavery agitation and legislation, and, accordingly, we here offer a narration of such facts as are necessary to understand the mean ing of the debate, before giving the debate it self. Therefore, this volume presents, first, a brief sketch of each debater, just sufficient to under stand the references in the debate; second, just enough of the history of the slavery question to comprehend the allusions of the speakers; third, the circumstances attending the debate along with the chief arguments and replies of each speaker; fourth, the major and important portions of the speeches of Lincoln and of Doug las are given in the exact words of the speaker.
