Описание: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln

In 1854 began the great slavery agitation by the re peal Of the slavery prohibition Of 1820, called the Mis souri Compromise. Aroused to new activity by what he regarded as a gross breach Of political faith, Lincoln entered upon public discussions with an earnestness and force that by common consent gave him leadership Of the Opposition in Illinois, which that year elected a majority Of the legislature. This Would have secured his election to the United States Senate, in the winte1 Of 1854, to succeed Shields, a Democrat; but four Op position members, of Democratic antecedents, 1efused to vote for Lincoln, who was yet called awhig, and by their persistence compelled the election Of Trumbull. The Republican party Of Illinois was for mally organized in 1856; the campaign 1esulted substantially m a drawn battle, the Democrats gaining a majority in the State for president, while the Republicans elected the gover nor and State Officers. In 1858 the senatorial term Of Douglas, author of the repeal Of the Missouri Compro mise, was expiring, and he sought 1e election. Lincoln, who had four years before successfully met him in public debate, wasnow by unanimous resolution Of the Republican State Convention designated as his rival and Opponent. Yielding to the wish of his party friends.
