Stephens vs Lincoln

Stephens versus Lincoln In two altogether different talks 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 primary discourse by Stephens he expresses that the thoughts of servitude at the hour of the old constitution weren't right and that they laid on the convictions of uniformity between the races. He proceeds to contend that subjugation 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 unrivaled race, is his regular 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 me n 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 misinterpretation 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. While Lincoln says that everybody is equivalent and that’s Stephens and others like him have wrecked the importance and centrality of the word Liberty. These contradicting addresses show the perspectives on servitude from the north and the south and how each side takes freedom and changes it around to the benefit of their own motivations.
