Lincoln and Douglas - Live! presented by Fred and Bonnie Priebe
Lincoln and Douglas Live, which sets the backgraound for the debates, a one-hour cutting of the actual words of Lincoln and Douglas, a concluding statement regarding the result of the debates, and a question and answer period in which the audience may ask questions of Lincoln and Douglas. This program will refresh our memories of how different attitudes were with regard to slavery and the so-called black race before the Civil War. Very few people have actually read the text of the debates, knowing only that they somehow dealt with the issue of slavery in America in the 1850's. The words of Lincoln and Douglas may shock you.
