[[Lincoln stands before an audience.]]
Heckler: Oh yeah? Well, fourscore and seven years ago your MOM brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal!
Narrator: After his 1860 loss to Lincoln, Stephen Douglas's famed debating skills entered a rapid decline.
{{Title text: Stephen Douglas actually died soon after the debates and election, but if you demand historical accuracy in your webcomics you should be reading Hark! A Vagrant.}}
