This new edition of the complete transcripts of the debates and eyewitness interpretations of them (previously published under the title \u003ci\u003eCreated Equal?\u003c\/i\u003e) includes a new Foreword by David Zarefsky. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Zarefsky analyzes the rhetoric of the speeches, showing how Lincoln and Douglas chose their arguments and initiated a debate that shook the nation. Their eloquent, statesmanlike discussion of the morality of slavery illustrates the masterful use of rhetorical strategies and tactics in the public forum: a form of discourse that has nearly disappeared from the political scene today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-8794\"\u003ePaul M.
