To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the most famous political argument in U.S. history, The Lincoln-Douglas Debates of 1858 is now available in a special commemorative edition. As Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas fiercely competed for the Illinois seat in the U.S. Senate, they debated many of the crucial and controversial issues-including slavery-that would later come to define Lincoln's political career. Thoughtfully edited by acclaimed historian Robert W. Johannsen-and framed by an insightful new forword by Johannsen's former student James L. Huston-this essential manuscript captures a groundbreaking and provocative moment in American politics.
