N Nma1 Guest Jan 20, 2009 #1 How did he try and corner Douglas? What were the results of the Debates and why were they important?
W Who? Guest Jan 20, 2009 #2 I think that Douglas was re-elected but it gained Lincoln a national spotlight. That helped him to become president later on. He basically let Douglas beat himself. (generally something that Lincoln did with most of his opponents) that and his funny stories!
