Abraham Lincoln's position in the Lincoln-Douglas debate was that of " A House divided cannot stand." The phrase still rings true today. He believed the black slaves were entitled to the same right under the declaration of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Lincoln was not elected to the Senate after the Lincoln-Douglas debate .

US Senators were still elected by state legislatures, and in 1859, the Illinois legislature selected Douglas for the U.S. Senate over Lincoln by a vote of 54 to 46.
