Quotes by Douglas R. Egerton (?)

“There are only two sides to the question, (Stephen A.) Douglas thundered in conclusion. Every man must be for the United States or against it. There can be no neutrals in this war, only patriots -- or traitors.”
― Douglas R. Egerton, Year of Meteors: Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, and the Election that Brought on the Civil War

“What came to be known as the Freeport Doctrine quite possibly saved Douglas’s career in Illinois. Because the legislature (rather than a popular vote) decided who would represent the state in Washington, however, that remains in some doubt.”
― Douglas R. Egerton, Year of Meteors: Stephen Douglas, Abraham Lincoln, and the Election That Brought on the Civil War

“Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune had argued for some time that the slave states should be allowed to secede in peace,”
