Douglas v Lincoln paragraph

Abraham's Lincoln is more compelling than Douglas's due to two main reasons. Addressing the argument rather than simply shooting down his opponent. On page 157 Lincoln has an entire section dedicated to "the real issue" which is how people consider slavery to be wrong or right. Where as Douglas spends all of his time bashing his opponent's views. Douglas even says " Lincoln's three errors". Secondly, Lincoln's honesty and the way he writes convinces the reader that he is trustworthy. Lincoln states, "That is the issue that will continue in this country when these poor tongues of Judge Douglas and myself shall be silent". This sense of the issue is bigger than the two of the debaters makes Lincoln seem more level headed and trustworthy.
