The summer of 1858 in Illinois was one of the hottest on record. Yet, the weather paled in comparison to the rising political temperatures.
What should have been a routine U.S. Senate campaign turned into a profound turning point in American history.
Abraham Lincoln, a former four-term Illinois assemblyman, mounted a challenge against the powerful incumbent, Stephen A. Douglas.
The upstart Lincoln called for a series of seven debates across the state, and much to his surprise, Douglas accepted.
Learn more about the Lincoln-Douglas debates and how they changed the country on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
