As a result of his debates with Stephen Douglas in 1858 and his later political speeches, Abraham Lincoln had become a national figure in the minds of the political leaders of the country in general, and the thinking men of the North in particular. Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which nullified the Missouri Compromise and allowed slavery in the Territories, Lincoln was scarcely known outside his own State. Even most of the men he had met during his single term in the U.S. Congress had forgotten him. Yet in a few years he became a recognized leader in the new Republican Party and one of the greatest orators of his time.It had been a long journey he had traveled to make himself a national figure, but eventually the eyes of the nation were fixed upon him. As one of Lincoln’s many biographers noted:“Twenty-eight years before he had deliberately entered politics. He had been beaten, but had persisted; he had succeeded and failed; he had abandoned the struggle and returned to his profession. His outraged sense of justice had driven him back, and for six years he had travelled up and down Illinois trying to prove to men that slavery extension was wrong. It was by no one speech, by no one argument that he had wrought. Every day his ceaseless study and pondering gave him new matter, and every speech he made was fresh. He could not repeat an old speech, he said, because the subject enlarged and widened so in his mind as he went on that it was ‘easier to make a new one than an old one.’ He had never yielded in his campaign to tricks of oratory—never played on emotions. He had been so strong in his convictions of the right of his case that his speeches had been arguments pure and simple. Their elegance was that of a demonstration in Euclid. They persuaded because they proved. He had never for a moment counted personal ambition before the cause. To insure an ardent opponent of the Kansas-Nebraska Bill in the United States Senate, he had at one time given up his chance for the senatorship. To show the fallacy of Douglas's argument, he had asked a question which his party pleaded with him to pass by, assuring him that it would lose him the election. In every step of these six years he had been disinterested, calm, unyielding, and courageous. He knew he was right, and could afford to wait. ‘The result is not doubtful,’ he told his friends. ‘We shall not fail—if we stand firm. We shall not fail. Wise counsels may accelerate or mistakes delay it; but, sooner or later, the victory is sure to come.’”
