21 août 1858 - The Lincoln-Douglas Debates
Description:
-The Lincoln-Douglas Debates were a series of seven debates between Abe Lincoln and Stephen Douglas.
-Involved: Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas
-The Lincoln-Douglas Debates led to the Civil War partly because of the position Douglas had to take in the debates. This led the Southerners to not support him. Whenever the coalition ended, and Lincoln was elected over a fractured opposition, this led to Southern secession, which then led to the Civil War.
