YOUR Lincoln-Douglas Debate Newspaper Article

Continuing on from our last assignment, you now need to synthesize information from the recollections and the articles you read about the Galesburg debate between Lincoln and Douglas and create your own front-page newspaper article.

Remember the language and tone used in the articles and write it as if you yourself were there and were reporting on the event. It should be at least 350 words. Remember the positions of the candidates on the issue of slavery. They may come in handy in writing your article.

Those who add an appropriate drawing or illustration might get extra credit. This is due Tuesday.
