Stephen A. Douglas, a prominent American politician in the mid-19th century, promised to uphold the principle of popular sovereignty, allowing territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery. He advocated for the construction of a transcontinental railroad, which he believed would promote economic growth and national unity. Additionally, Douglas supported the idea of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which aimed to organize the Nebraska Territory and potentially expand slavery into new areas. His promises were often tied to his broader vision of a united nation and economic expansion.
