The Lincoln/Douglas Debates
The debates that transpired between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas would have a tremendous impact on the eventual outbreak of the Civil War. Lincoln’s performance in the debates, which were widely covered and well reported in the press, catapulted him to political prominence throughout the free states and within the leadership of the Republican party. The two men would meet again in the Presidential election of 1860 and the result would be very different. It was at this point that the numerous Southern states which had promised to secede from the Union if Lincoln was elected President followed thru and did exactly that. Civil War was at the doorstep.
