Lincoln Douglas Debate #7
My Licoln Douglous presidential debate was the 7th one in Alton Illinosis. My topic was on equality of black and whites. Douglas taking the stand argued that each state should determine whether individuals could legally own slaves within its jurisdiction.
“Divided into free and slave states as our fathers made it- each state having the right to prohibit, abolish or sustain slavery as it pleases."Douglas called the states right to determine its own laws “equality among all the states” the crowds eyed Douglas as his reasoning with regard to slavery was straight forward.
Lincolns argued slavery as “immoral” regardless of how many people supported it. The constitution was on his side supporting that “ all men were created equally” realizing that people were to afraid to speak out Lincoln tried to connect to the people during the debate. This debate really opened peoples mind into the two opposing sides of slavery.
2008 Presidential Debate
I think that overall Obama won the debates because he was confident and backed up everything with evidence. It looked at though he was comfortable to take on any question or attack that was thrown to him and that’s what our country needs.
John McCain looked nervous alot at some points unlike Barrack Obama who answered the questions confidently and knowingly. The second debate revealed between the two candidates who could take pressure from people asking questions and who seemed uneasy.
I truelly think John McCain is basically full of crap. After following these two candidates and listening to what they have to say, I don’t agree with John McCain. He seems like he would make the same mistakes Bush did. What we really need is change.
