Was Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois an abolitionist?
Senator Stephen A. Douglas was not an abolitionist. He thought that the slavery debate would never be resolved peacefully in its current form. So he proposed that each new state, before it applied for statehood, should be allowed to vote on whether to be slave or free. The result was the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act. This was based on his belief in popular sovereignty. Douglas was a nationally known leader who also hoped the transcontinental railroad would start from Chicago, Illinois, his home state.
