Slavery was the key issue in the 1858 election campaign for the U.S. Senate in Illinois. One of the candidates Abraham Lincoln, believed that slavery should not be allowed in any states. His opponent, Stephen A. Douglas, believed that people should be allowed to decide. Lincoln's speeches made him a national political figure. In his famous "House Divided" speech, he said, "a house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure permanently half slave and half free." His words alarmed people who were doing wrong.
