“Read ALL of the Lincoln Douglas Debates...”

Is that necessary?

Could you just cut and paste and post the parts you think relevant on this site so everyone can read them?

If it makes it easier to understand, post in full caps.

I read them years ago... it wasn't a 'modern' debate with commercials and grandstanding... covering one night. The debates happened over a period of days. If you read the Lincoln Douglas debates it's reading a book... After you read them you'll fall on your knees in gratitude that slavery in this world was essentially stopped by one man. And that man was named Lincoln.

The civil war ended slavery in the United States but Lincoln's ideas ended slavery in the world.
