This book was released on 2013-12-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today Stephen A. Douglas is mostly remembered as the man who debated Abraham Lincoln in the Lincoln-Douglas debates during the Senate election in 1858, but when this biography of Douglas was written ahead of the 1860 presidential election, Douglas was still arguably the most prominent politician in America. Like most campaign literature, this is a glowing account of Douglas' life and work, and something most people today would be unfamiliar with. It's a particularly interesting read for anyone interested in Lincoln, the Civil War, the issue of slavery, and those who want to better understand the mindset of 19th century Americans.

Download or read book Life of Stephen A Douglas Classic Reprint written by William Gardner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Stephen A. Douglas I have derived this narrative mainly from orig inal sources. The biography written during his life time by his friend Sheahan, and that published two years after his death by his admirer, Flint, are chiefly drawn on for the brief account of his early life. The history of his career in Congress has been gathered from the Congressional Record; the account of Conventions from contemporary reports, and the Debates with Lincoln from the authorized publication. I have not consciously taken any liberty with any text quoted, except to omit superfluous words, which omissions are indicated by asterisks. I have not attempted to pronounce judgment on Douglas or his contemporaries, but to submit the evidence. Not those who write, but those who read', pass final judgment on the heroes of biography.

Download or read book Stephen A Douglas Western Man written by Reg Ankrom and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It didn't take long for freshman Congressman Stephen A. Douglas to see the truth of Senator Thomas Hart Benton's warning: slavery attached itself to every measure that came before the U.S. Congress. Douglas wanted to expand the nation into an ocean-bound republic. Yet slavery and the violent conflicts it stirred always interfered, as it did in 1844 with his first bill to organize Nebraska. In 1848, when America acquired 550,000 square miles after the Mexican War, the fight began over whether the territory would be free or slave. Henry Clay, a slave owner who favored gradual emancipation, packaged territorial bills from Douglas's committee with four others. But Clay's "Omnibus Bill" failed. Exhausted, he left the Senate, leaving Douglas in control. Within two weeks, Douglas won passage of all eight bills, and President Millard Fillmore signed the Compromise of 1850. It was Douglas's greatest legislative achievement. This book, a sequel to the author's Stephen A. Douglas: The Political Apprenticeship, 1833-1843, fully details Douglas's early congressional career. The text chronicles how Douglas moved the issue of slavery from Congress to the ballot box.
