Lincoln&Douglas debate
come see at the flower mound aditorium
hurry before we are sold out
- The next question propounded to me by Mr. Lincoln is, can the people of a Territory in any lawful way, against the wishes of any citizen of the United States, exclude slavery from their limits prior to the formation of a State Constitution? -Douglas
- It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the states, old as well as new, North as well as South.- Lincoln that is just a small piece of the arguments that go on it gets very intense. you should be there to witness it.
