Stephen A. Douglas : the political apprenticeship, 1833-1843 |
Author |
Ankrom, Reg, 1946- |
Summary |
"With the introduction of Douglas' first bill in 1834, the Douglas-Lincoln contests continued in the decade ahead. Struggles over banking, internal improvements, party organizations, the seat of government and slavery--even romantic rivalry--put them on opposing sides long before the 1860 presidential election. These battles were Douglas's political apprenticeship and he would use what he learned to obstruct Lincoln--his friend and nemesis--while becoming the most powerful Democrat in the nation"-- Provided by publisher. |
