    The Moral Lights

    As Stephen Douglas staggered under alcohol, illness and the repetition of old ideas, Abraham Lincoln found the clear distinction between them in their debates -- and hammered his opponent pitilessly over his indifference to slavery.

    An Assumption of Superiority

    In an attempt to respond to Stephen Douglas' relentless race-baiting, Abraham Lincoln reaches the moral nadir of his political life. But from the depths of this disaster he starts finding an argument that he will wield with far more effectiveness in the later debates. Sources used:Blumenthal, Sidney: All The Powers of Earth.

    Fire in Flight

    The Lincoln-Douglas debates had some eloquence, lots of repetition and much in the way of grubby politicking. Stephen Douglas hit hard at Abraham Lincoln in the first contest in Ottawa, and Lincoln hit back at the second in Freeport. Sources used:Blumenthal, Sidney: All The Powers of Earth.

    General Jackson Is Dead

    A rift between Stephen Douglas and President James Buchanan appeared to give Abraham Lincoln a break in his run for U.S. Senate. But Lincoln began scrambling to pull Republicans behind him after Douglas started flirting with a bipartisan anti-Buchanan coalition. Sources used:"A Bad Sign."

    A Sublimity of Impudence

    The Scott family's decade-long fight to claim the freedom owed to them under the law ran into state and federal judges determined to close the courts -- and broader citizenship -- to Black Americans. For white Americans like Abraham Lincoln, the Dred Scott ruling forced them to consider how denial of rights to one group of people could leave everyone else's rights open to question.
