Douglas was Senator for Illinois.
He was largely responsible for the Compromise of 1850,which seemed to settle problems about slavery at the time.However,in 1854 he championed and forced through the Kansas-Nebraska Act,which opened up conflict about Free and Slave states again.
So,he could be said to have first staved off,and then hastened,the American Civil War.
