Summary: "The Papers and Writings of Abraham Lincoln — Volume 4: The Lincoln-Douglas Debates II" by Abraham Lincoln, edited by Arthur Brooks Lapsley is a historical account composed in the mid-19th century. This volume includes the transcripts of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, particularly focusing on Lincoln's fourth debate against Stephen A. Douglas, which occurred in Charleston, Illinois, during their campaign for a Senate seat. The discussions center around the contentious issues of slavery, race relations, and political ideologies of the time. The opening of this volume presents Lincoln's remarks during the fourth debate, where he addresses a large audience. He begins by reiterating his position against social and political equality between whites and blacks, a viewpoint that reflects the complex attitudes of the era regarding race. Lincoln further responds to accusations from Douglas regarding political slander and discusses recent charges made against Douglas by Senator Trumbull. He deftly counters Douglas's arguments, employing evidence and logical reasoning to scrutinize Douglas's stance on the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the legality of slavery in new territories. Overall, this segment sets the tone for the intense political rivalry and deep societal divides present in America during this pivotal period in history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
