Was manifest destiny the main topic of the lincoln douglas debates?
It was one topic, but certainly not the only one. First, it is worth noting that there were seven debates (and for modern students, accustomed to seeing candidates give one minute responses to questions, each candidate spoke for as long as an hour, before giving way to his opponent). As for Manifest Destiny, the belief that America had both the right and the duty to expand and take over more territory, this was indeed a point of contention between the candidates: Douglas generally supported the idea, while Lincoln generally did not. But most historians will tell you the main topic for the debates was the controversy over slavery-- especially whether the spread of slavery should be limited by the federal government, or whether the individual states should be allowed to make the decision to permit it or not.
