Abarham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln
It should be a 1947
The principal topic of the Lincoln-Douglas debates was slavery. Specifically, Lincoln thought that all the territories (the parts of the United States that were not yet States) should be free of slavery, and that eventually, the federal government should outlaw slavery everywhere in the U.S., while Douglas thought that each territory should decide for itself whether it wanted to allow slavery or not.
Lincoln and Douglas agreed on a few points, one of which was on the question of Utah, that if Utah was in open rebellion (it was. about mormonism) then they should have to submit to the will of the federal government and its policies on polygamy. they also agreed that blacks and whites were not equal in ALL respects. they emphatically agreed that the races should not mix, but Lincoln argued that the races would not mix ONLY if they were equal.
