"The Campaign in Illinois; Last Joint Debate; and, Douglas and Lincoln at Alton, Illinois" offers a vital historical record of the pivotal 1858 Illinois senatorial campaign. Featuring the words of Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, this volume captures the essence of their final, famous debate in Alton. Their exchange encapsulates the profound issues dividing the nation on the cusp of the Civil War.
This book provides invaluable insight into the political ideologies, rhetorical styles, and personal convictions of two towering figures in American history. Lincoln's arguments against the expansion of slavery and Douglas's advocacy for popular sovereignty are presented in their raw, unfiltered form. This record allows readers to understand the complex and deeply entrenched divisions that ultimately led to the nation's greatest conflict.
A crucial resource for scholars, students, and anyone interested in American history, political science, or the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, this volume preserves a significant moment in the ongoing struggle for equality and justice in the United States.
