You guys have really been doing great with these short informational videos
Need more details on the debates themselves -- some hold the opinion that these are the finest debates yet held in the English language. Especially, you should mention the "Freeport doctrine" which helped make Douglas unacceptable to the South, and so split the Democratic party during the election of 1860.
Epic Rap Battles of History?
The democrats were not "split" on the question of slavery. They were firmly in favor of slavery as a state's rights issue.
like it is very realistic we are homeschooling I shall Wach it more often
Maybe you should pay someone to teach English.
Questions of “racial equality” were not central to national or local politics in 1858. Most white citizens at that time would have found such an idea preposterous. This is one of the problems which arise when we project modern sensibilities to history.🤔
@Dwight Jackson,
Absolutely right!
You are indeed correct sir
No, you're not correct. Most of the Western world had already abolished slavery & almost every thinking moral person knew that slavery was immoral long before the let 19th century.
Hey, but keep attempting to Crital think without actually learning factual history.
