  9. Freeport Doctrine • During the Lincoln-Douglas debates, one of which took place in Freeport, Illinois, Senator Douglas refused to pass a slave code. No slaveholder would bring slaves into a territory without such laws. Douglas’s answer became known as the Freeport Doctrine.

Other reasons for the CIVIL WAR are: • Debate over Kansas was impassioned in both houses of congress. • Charles Sumner was beaten unconscious in the Senate chambers by the cousin of Senator Andrew Butler. • Sumner was unable to return to the Senate for 3.5 years.
