In 1858, Abraham Lincoln was the Republican Party's nominee for the Illinois senate seat occupied by nationally known Senator Stephen A. Douglas. Lincoln's position on slavery was that it was wrong. Knowing that slavery was strongly supported in the southern states where it existed, Lincoln was among the many people in the US, who believed that slavery should not be extended to the US Western territories.
