186022476Columbus OH 1860. Hardcover. Fine. Book. Political Debates Between Hon. Abraham Lincoln and Hon. Stephen A. Douglas in the Celebrated Campaign of 1858 in Illinois. Columbus Ohio: Follett Foster and Co. 1860. 3rd edition with publisher's advertisements bound in. 268 pp. 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 in. Historical BackgroundLincoln's debates with incumbent Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas earned him national prominence. Slavery was the pressing national issue especially regarding its expansion into the western territories. Douglas authored the Kansas-Nebraska Act 1854 which effectively repealed the free-slave dividing line set by the Missouri Compromise 1820 at 36° 30' north latitude. Instead of banning slavery north of the line and banning south of it new states would instead decide on slavery's status within their borders by ""popular sovereignty."" On its surface Douglas's bill appeared to offer the nation a middle path on the contentious issue of slavery. Instead it would only muddy the waters on slavery.The Kansas-Nebraska Act was only one of a long list of compromises in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. Despite these attempts the slavery debate only became more heated throughout the 1850s. Northerners seeing the hypocrisy of ""states rights"" advocates chafed when a new Fugitive Slave Act 1850 required the use of federal marshals to return escaped slaves. An unintended consequence of Douglas's bill resulted in fraudulent elections and violence in Kansas in 1855 and 1856. South Carolina Representative Preston Brooks bludgeoned Massachusetts anti-slavery Senator Charles Sumner on the Senate floor after an 1856 speech. In 1857 the Supreme Court handed down the Dred Scott decision which decreed that African Americans could not be citizens and based on one's right to bring property across state lines effectively erased the division between free and slave states. Slavery unspoken but protected in the Constitution and mitigated by antebellum compromisers was a tinderbox about to roar to fire.Lincoln recognized the problems slavery presented for the nation and in his debates with Douglas focused his attention on the nationalization of slavery both West and North. After he was nominated as the Republican candidate for the Senate he spoke to the convention famously asserting that ""a house divided against itself cannot stand."" The House Divided speech delivered at Springfield Illinois on June 17 1858 is the opening piece of this book. Though he would lose the Senate race the rest of the book details Lincoln's intellectual combat with Douglas over slavery.

He returned to Michigan purchased two tracts of land which he farmed until retiring in 1891.
