520    Guelzo gives us an astute, gracefully written account of 
       the celebrated Lincoln?Douglas debates of 1858. These 
       seven debates between two powerful attorneys and statesmen,
       Abraham Lincoln and Sen. Stephen A. Douglas, starkly 
       defined the stakes between sharply different positions on 
       slavery and union on the eve of civil war and offered 
       examples of serious, deeply reasoned exchanges of views 
       rarely seen in American politics... Douglas won re-
       election that year, but Lincoln gained national 
       recognition despite losing and then defeated Douglas three
       years later for the presidency. Perhaps more important, 
       the views that Lincoln enunciated in 1858?that the 
       government, heeding the majority's will, should halt 
       slavery's further spread?laid the foundation for 
       emancipation and a new era in the nation's history.
