Lincoln Defends Revolution Logic Against Douglas History
In a charged debate, Lincoln rebukes Douglas for selectively using revolutionary history to justify popular sovereignty on slavery. He cites the Missouri Compromise and the Northwest Ordinance, arguing the founders opposed slavery in new territories and that Douglas omits key decisions shaping union policy. Lincoln warns Douglas misuses authority and insists on adhering to documented actions of the Revolution and early Congress.
