In this three hour speech, Lincoln argues against the Kansas-Nebraska Act and its underlying concept of popular sovereignty. The new law repealed the Missouri Compromise in that it allowed for slave states North of 36 30' latitude. Shortly after the passage of the act, opponents of the law formed the Republican Party.
