| Summary | "Stephen A. Douglas: A Study in American Politics" by Allen Johnson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life and political career of Stephen A. Douglas, focusing on his role as a prominent figure in American politics during the antebellum period. It explores his legacy as the rival of Abraham Lincoln and seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of his contributions and influence on the political landscape leading up to the Civil War. The opening of the work introduces Stephen A. Douglas, tracing his origins from a humble New England boyhood through his tumultuous and ambitious rise in the Midwest's political arena. The narrative shares insights into Douglas's early life, including his education, his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker, and his eventual move westward as he sought opportunities in the burgeoning frontier towns of Illinois. It sets the stage for his political awakening and ambitions, laying out the formative experiences and influences that shaped his worldview as he transitioned from a struggling youth to an emerging lawyer and politician in the uncharted territories of the West.
