A proposito di questo titolo

Before he was president, Abraham Lincoln was a little-known Illinois lawyer challenging the most powerful politician in America: Stephen Douglas. In 1858, they faced off in seven debates across the state, drawing crowds of thousands. This episode digs into the drama of those encounters—Lincoln's moral stand against slavery's expansion, Douglas's cynical popular sovereignty, and the moment Lincoln forced Douglas to admit he didn't care if slavery was voted up or down. We explore the Freeport Doctrine, the real stakes of the debates, and how Lincoln's eloquence on the stump laid the groundwork for his 1860 campaign. Plus, the surprising role of a young journalist named Horace White and how newspaper telegraphy turned local debates into national news. Lucas and Luna revisit a turning point that transformed a frontier lawyer into a national figure.
