Stephens vs Lincoln

Stephens versus Lincoln In two totally different discourses by Alexander H. Stephens and Abraham Lincoln the two of them contend their perspectives on subjugation and the rival side in addition to how they might want to have the new government to be run. In the principal discourse by Stephens he expresses that the thoughts of subjection at the hour of the old constitution weren't right and that they laid on the convictions of equity between the races. He proceeds to contend that subjection in the south will have its establishments laid upon the thoughts that, as Stephens says. the negro si not equivalent to the white man; that bondage, subornation to the prevalent race, is his characteristic and good condition. † interestingly, Lincoln portrays how every individual has an alternate definition for the word Liberty. One side characterizes it as implying that they can do what they please with themselves and the income. While the different characterizes it, as Lincoln says, â€Å" some men do however they see fit other men, and the result of their men’s work. † Lincoln distinguishes the focal contrasts between the north and the south as a confusion of the word Liberty, one side called freedom and the different tyranny.Stephens trusts himself, and all whites as being better than African Americans and that it’s the law of nature for it to be so. Though Lincoln says that everybody is equivalent and that’s Stephens and others like him have annihilated the importance and hugeness of the word Liberty. These restricting discourses show the perspectives on subjection from the north and the south and how each side takes freedom and changes it around to the benefit of their own motivations.
