To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But the southern people, particularly those of the Cotton States, had come by slow degrees to a differ ent opinion. As long ago as 1848, William L. Yancey, of Alabama, who has been rightly styled the "orator of seces sion, " laid down the doctrine that the people of a territory could not, prior to the formation of a state constitution, prevent any citizen of the United States from settling in such territory with his property, whether slave property or other. This doctrine had now received the s...anction of the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case.
On the evening before the Freeport debate Lincoln had a conference with some of his party friends at which the ques tion was considered whether it would be wise to put the foregoing question to Douglas or not. All of the gentlemen present counseled him not to do so because Douglas would reply in the affirmative in order to save his election as senator.
It was Lincoln s opinion that Douglas was the only Democrat who could command sufficient strength in the North to be elected president in 1860, and that if he were not nominated the Republicans would win that fight.
