Certainly the 1858 Lincoln-Douglas debates for the US senate seat of Senator Douglas of Illinois highlighted the differences between Republicans and Democrats on the slavery issue. It can be said, as well, that Lincoln's ideas reflected a growing messianic sentiment on the part of Lincoln. Lincoln's well known "House divided" speech invoked the words of Jesus Christ. Lincoln also made it clear in 1858 that slavery was not only a political issue but was a religious issue as well.
