Frederick Douglass knew - as did Lincoln -- that Stephen A Douglas since 1854, was the man who, more than anyone else incited hatred for the black man.
Douglas got crowds to yell at Lincoln "Down with Niggers." Lincoln had to wait for the yelling to subside, before he could respond.
Douglas arrival in any city could be news for days before and after his arrival. Always Douglas degraded the black race --and then lied to say he did not care if slavery spread or not.
decision which ordered- directed - that blacks are not humans - that blacks can not be seen as humans.
The Dred decision also directed -- that the federal government must -- must help spread slavery. A basic fact that idiotically more "history" teachers do not know, much less teach.

Douglas incited hatred of Lincoln and incited hatred of the "Negro" for one reason.
It worked. Douglas spoke to more people -- more states (North and South) and to bigger crowds than anyone
Biggest crowds. Cheering crowds.
Douglas got crows to cheer. Dramatic- - endlessly dramatic, with a booming voice, he would go side to side of the stage.
Douglas often rode to speeches in his own train car.
Douglas at times had brass bands announce his arrival -- and used a cannon -- a cannon -- to fire
SHOW THE BOSOOM!
NO MAN BUT A WHITE MAN
Douglas arranged for women to accompany him on his train (supplied by the man who would run against Lincoln for President in 1864-- Georg McClellan). In Charleston Ill the women arrived on Douglas's train -- and went with him to stage -- as brass band played
NO MAN BUT A WHITE MAN? WHERE DID DOUGLAS GET THAT SLOGAN?
We all would know that -- if our history teachers were worth a damn. Douglas used that phrase -- "No man but a white man" in other speeches.
Crowds yelled "DOWN WITH NIGGERS" Exactly what Douglas knew they would -- and wanted them to yeall.
That was Douglas's goal -- cheering crowds -- make crowds think Lincoln wants your daughters to "sleep with" N------
Not everyone cheered, but hate mongers getting cheering crowds is 90% of the battle.
________________________________
LINCOLN LOST -- THEN WON
BY DESIGN
Lincoln did lose this election for senate - and only won White House because 3 "pro spread of slavery" fools ran against him. Most white people still hated or feared black men in the election.
Lincoln won Presidency even though slave states refused to let him on the ballot, or did not count his votes.
The women wore sashes on their chest -- guess -- guess what the women had embroiderd on their sashe -- go on guess.
You would know - - we all would know -- if your teachers taught this candidly. Douglas had imprinted "NO MAN BUT A WHITE MAN
Douglas For years Douglas and Lincoln were of like minds -- slavery should end, but end over time. End with compensation to slave owners if needed. And end peacefully, with agreement of the South.
Why the change?
Why did Douglas flip 180 on that, and why flip on Kansas act almost over night?
Because it got him power -- and crowds.
Why incite crowd to yell "Down with Negroes" - -- only Douglas never used the word Negro according to the stenographer of the debates -- he used the word N word.
Quincy newspapers reported Douglas used that word -- the N word--with a special kind of hate. He almost spit the word out.
WHY --
Why pump up hate-- ? Because Douglas knew that 80% -- a stunning four out of five, people in much of Illinois hated and feared the black race.
Hate = political gold. That equaled power and attention. Douglas was an egomaniac -he craved cheering crowds.
This was the best way to get cheering crowds.
This was the best way to get power.
Illinois made it a crime -- a crime -- for blacks to move into Illinois in 1858. Illinois also nearly voted to be a slave state in 1818.
We omit entirely the vulgar and hateful attacks against Lincoln. Yet that is the ony reason Douglas won the Senate race, defeating Lincoln.
It was not just Douglas that attacked Lincoln as "Niggerlover" or such nonsense. Douglas newspapers - thousands of them -- also claimed Lincoln was trying to get white women to sleep with black men.
See Douglas -- and hundreds of others, North and South, inserted the name "Frederick Douglass" and Lincoln in the same sentence, to prove Lincoln was doing exactly what Frederick Douglass was accused of....
Douglas would have defeated Lincoln for White House--except 3 anti-Lincoln, pro spread slavery candidates split the vote
It's important know --1
Those who spoke of "equality of the races" were still being attacked, even killed by the time of the famous debates.
Douglas, Stephen A Douglas, was famous for getting crowds, and the nation to fear and hate blacks. He drew the biggest crowns in the US, more than abolitionist, more than Presidents.
He was dramatic-- for example he would arrive in his own railroad car, and be carreid by his supporters, with a brassband playing.
Horrace Greely said DOuglas was the best public speaker in the nation -- at a time when great speakers were common.
Horrace Greely was so impressed with Douglas speaking, he tried to get Douglas to be the Senate candidate in the Republican party - not Lincoln.
Douglas was as much an entertainer -- and a hate monger. Crows want to hear him berate Lincoln - or anyone else against slavery.
The official stenographer of the debates said Douglas never or rarely used the term "Negro." Douglas use the term "Nigger."
Not only in public speeches -- but even when asked in the Senate by Charles Sumner not to use "N---" word, Douglas used the N---word there, too
Doulgas well know for antics -- and his voice, his tone. Small... he was called "Little Giant "-- and thcould run side to side,stop suddenly, So much so Frederick Douglas wrote to Susan B Anthony, is a letter that still exist -- the
Within two minutes of starting the first debate (Ottawa IL) Douglas told the crowd
The Supreme Court -- in Dred Scot decision -- officially defined blacks as "not human being." Stephen A Douglas was on a "national tour" of sorts to brag about Dred Scott decision
by the time Lincoln could get Douglas to debate.
In Kansas, Jeff Davis had, since 1856, 2000 paid Texas men invade terrorize and later kill to spread slavery.
That group of men Davis sent was the second group - Davis sent the first group, a much small group, in 1854.
Atchison was Stephen A Douglas partner in Kansas Act -- when Atchison soon after the Kansas Act passed, rushed to Kansas using paid men to invade -- later kill -- to spread slavery, guess who defended Atchison?
Stephen A Douglas. That's who defended Atchison.
By the way -- the same year, as archivist discovered-- someone gave Stephen A Douglas a slave plantation in Mississippi after he passed Kansas Act (with Atchison). There were over 150 slaves on Douglas's plantation.
Douglas "forgot" to mention that in or after the debates. Most people alive at the time were well aware Douglas flipped to push Kansas Act -- to curry favor with Jeff Davis.
But it was not until rather recently we know by paperwork, from DOuglas's attorney . Douglas was given much more than a pat on the head by Davis. Someone gave him a slave plantation -- 5 or 10 million dollars worth.
Douglas was given a slave plantation.
Soon after Douglas flipped from trashing Kansas Act -- to pass it
Don't forget - up pops a slave plantation.

WHO LED THE TWO GROUPS OF MEN
HIRED TO INVADE KANSAS?
Senator David Rice Atchison.
Atchison business and political partern?
STEPHEN A Douglas.
The on site leader of both groups who invade 1854 and 1856-- was Stephen A DOuglas business partner, and Douglas's partner to pass Kansas Act in 1854,
BEATEN ALMOST TO DEATH
ON SENATE FLOOR MAY 1856
What was Charles Sumner talking about on Senate floor -- May of 1856-- when he was beaten into a coma?
____________________________________
This is such a basic easy question, if you don't know- slap your teachers.
____________________________________
Sumner in that famous speech was talking about Stephen A Douglas. Sumner was talking about Senator David Rice Atchison. By name.
____________________________________
DOUGLAS LAUGHS - WHY?
Sumner in great detail, for two days, in great length, showed evidence, newspaper reports, killing by killing, torture by torture, murder by murder, of Kansas citizens by men under control of -- SENATOR ATCHISON.
Sumner in great detail, in great length showed how another Senator helped Atchison to pass Kansas Act. Who was that other Senator? STEPHEN A DOUGLAS.
_____________________________________
SUMNER NAMED DOUGLAS
DOUGLA LAUGHS
Notice the small chubby guy in the back? Thats Stephen A Douglas laughing as Sumner is beaten.
Douglas claimed he was not there that day. Not only was Douglas there that day, it's likely Douglas (as Sgt. At Arms of the Senate) let Preston Brooks in.
Preston was not allowed on the floor at all -- and Senate doors were always locked from the inside during debates like this.
Only the Sgt.At Arms could allow the doors to open. That was Stephen A Douglas.
Furthermore, Douglas already told Sumner the day before, during a break in the first day of Sumner's amazing speech. Douglas told Sumner he "should be beaten like a dog" for the way Sumner talked.
Sumner was insulting, yes, and every word of it was true, every word of it was about those who used the Senate to enslave torture and kill to spread slavery.
__________Preston Brooks___________
In the debates-- Lincoln names the people who concocted Kansas Act -- and Dred Scott decision -- as "machinery" to spread slavery "North South East and West"
In those names -- Stephen A Douglas, Jeff Davis, Roger Taney.
No one told you? They should have.
And Douglas used exactly that hate for blacks --- to get more famous. And he pumped up the hate even more.
Most whites -- ALREADY -- hated blacks, feared black men would "sleep with your daughters."
