A Comparison of Lincoln and Douglas on the Issue of the House Divided

The theme of the second paper is as follows. Compare and contrast problems on Lincoln and Douglas splitting problems. It is strongly recommended that Jaffa read the two articles posted in the "Content" section. The discussion of Lincoln Douglas is part of a larger movement to obtain political adjectives from both. As a Republican, Lincoln exercised for the seat of Douglas in the Senate. Douglas has been a member of Congress since 1843, and the nationwide figures of the Democratic Party are headed for re - election.

"As a senator candidate in 1858, Lincoln fought Douglas on the current Senator's own choice, the sovereignty of the people as the justification of the Republican principle, Lincoln's support came from a famous" split "speech It was. Both are anti-slavery, unprecedented writers used the metaphor of a divided house, thinking that America is not free or slave. While denying this premise, I questioned Douglas's sincerity to the Douglas declaration, Douglas thought that he really intended to slavery nationalization. "People's sovereignty applies to slavery issues, if they do not want them, do not own them."

Lincoln and Douglas were very different in the expansion of slavery, so Douglas was a supporter, Lincoln wanted to stop it. Lincoln said, "The house divided by you will not be affected", which means he believes that the US should completely abolish slavery or allow slavery anywhere To do. Douglas believes in the sovereignty of people, so that each state can decide whether to become a free state or a slave state. Lincoln is an abolitionist, but I do not think that blacks are equivalent to whites. Lincoln supports colonization. In general, Douglas believes in expansion, people's sovereignty and autonomy, Lincoln believes that the United States must choose to abolish or to fully assemble.

Within a few weeks, Steven Douglas will distort the meaning of Lincoln and describe him as a war criminal and a fundamental abolitionist. However, as part of Lincoln 's heritage, the split rhetoric of the House shows that local politician Abraham Lincoln firmly occupies his interests with passionate domestic problems. Whether it is an opponent of slavery or not, it will prevent further spread and place it in a place where public mind depends, believing it is in the process of eventual extinction. Regardless of whether it is South or North, it becomes legal in all countries regardless of old or new.
