Stephen Douglas- Stephen Douglas was a northern politician and supporter of popular sovereignty that was a leading voice in the Compromise of 1850. He and Lincoln debated in the famous Lincoln-Douglas Debates in the election for an Illinois senate seat in 1858, which he won. Comment by Erin Bohn: PLEASE start numbering these! I have put this comment on your papers nearly every time. Abraham Lincoln- At this time, Abraham Lincoln was a rising star in the Republican Party and was emerging on the national stage. As a result of his famous campaign against Douglas and his public adversity to slavery, he quickly became a contentious public figure that gained no support amongst southerners who saw him and his party as threatening their very livelihoods.

Many attempts to quell sectional aggression arose, including the Compromise of 1850. However, every attempt proved to be of no use and the nation continued to spiral into what seemed to be an eternal sectional rift, with no chance of escaping.
