#639: Lincoln-Douglas

Lincoln-Douglas

[[Lincoln stands before an audience.]]

Heckler: Oh yeah? Well, fourscore and seven years ago your MOM brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal!

Narrator: After his 1860 loss to Lincoln, Stephen Douglas’s famed debating skills entered a rapid decline.
