That compromise of 1850 could have stopped the violence over slavery?
There wasn't much violence about slavery in 1850, only a lot of verbal disagreement. The 1850 Compromise heightened the tension, through the unpopularity of the Fugitive Slave Act, and the publication of 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' as an angry protest against it. Bloodshed followed from the next compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, and tensions rose further with the Dred Scott verdict (declaring slavery legal in every state of the Union), the Lincoln-Douglas debates, and the John Brown rebellion. By then, war was on its way.
What issues dominated the Lincoln-Douglas debates?
The topic of the Lincoln-Douglas debates mostly concerned the extension of slavery into the US territories. Douglas believed that the territories should decide for themselves whether or not they wished to have slavery. He felt that power should reside at the local level and should reflect the wishes of the people. Lincoln stated, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." Lincoln believed that slavery must be dealt with as a moral wrong and that only the power of the federal government could extinguish slavery.
