Examining Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas's Senate DebatesSeries: American Debates and SpeechesBy Alex David DetailsDetails Today we think of candidates debating before being elected. It is a normal part of the election process. However, before Abraham Lincoln and Illinois senator Stephen Douglas, debates did not occur. Their debates were later published in a book, and Americans could read each candidate's thoughts on slavery. Lincoln wanted to end slavery but Douglas wanted each state to decide for itself if slavery should exist. The ensuing debates pinpoint a critical time in American history. Were people going to vote to allow this inhumane institution to continue or would they agree with Lincoln and abolish it?Publication Date: 07/15/2020Copyright: 2021Pages: 64Trim Size: 9 x 7 1/2Illustrations: Grade Level: 7–12Age Level: 12–17Dewey: 973.7092--dc23?FormatsFormatISBNList PriceDiscount PriceLibrary Bound Book9781978515109$35.60$26.70Paperback Book9781978515093$16.24$13.80eBook9781978515116$35.60$26.70 Loading… Other books in American Debates and Speeches 1 Loading… Loading… eBook: 9781978515116 List Price: $35.60 Discount Price: $26.70 + Add to wish list Library Bound Book: 9781978515109 List Price: $35.60 Discount Price: $26.70 + Add to wish list Paperback Book: 9781978515093 List Price: $16.24 Discount Price: $13.80 + Add to wish list Please log in Log in or register to create a wish list.
