Explanation:

When Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas ran for Senate 1858 and 1860 for the United States presidential election an important matter about slavery was making the headlines, whether or not the settlers of American territory could bring slaves and keep them as property.

To avoid the conflict between the North Abolitionist and South Pro-slavery, that was dividing the nation, Douglas strongly supported Popular sovereignty, that would allow the settlers to choose slavery without the Congress intervening. Lincoln stood against it, talking about slavery but his main goal was avoiding a national war regarding slavery problem.

James Oakes once quoted Douglas’s words: “At one point, for example, Senator Douglas joked that ‘in all contests between the negro and the white man, he was for the white man, but that in all questions between the negro and the crocodile he was for the negro.’’. At the same time, Lincoln was an extreme nationalist that said: “My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or to destroy slavery.”.
