elected by state legislatures.

The debates took place at seven different locations. (Ottawa, Freeport, Jonesboro, Charleston, Galesburg, Quincy and Alton)

Many of the debates focused on slavery, which is the major issue Lincoln faces in the presidential election of 1860.

They focused a lot of the attention on the Compromise of 1850, which dealt with territory issues.
