Who ran for the senate against stephen douglas and had a series of debates about slavery with him

add me as friend then ill answer

companies passed on production and transportation costs to consumers

they had many gains 1 one freedom for slaves the major cause of the civil war is that the   north wanted freedom for slaves but the south didn; t creaitng the civil war

another gain they have is poltiical influence

poltiical influence is a big thing everywhere even now peoplle are always trying to get the head up in poltics thats what they did by giving the republicians a good name for freeing slaves
