The Supreme Court had declared that slavery was legal in every state of the Union. Stephen Douglas said that the people of each new state should vote whether it should be a slave-state or free soil, and pass local legislation in line with their verdict. The people of Illinois agreed with this idea, and Douglas got the senatorial seat over Lincoln.
