Stephan Douglas was responsible for the Kansas-Nebraska act that let states decide for themselves. It wasn't a question of wether or not he was pro or anti slavery, it was we need the keep the balance of pro and anti slave states in the union. Notice that this is pre civil war times. They didn't wan't too many states on one side or the other. Majority at the time were democratic southern states because of the poor non-industrialized states unlike today where the south is mostly Republican, and northern states are Democrats. Most of all he was a poltician. Historians still debate wether or not he is pro or anti-slavery. www.politicalpete.com
