He believed that the people of each new state should vote on whether it should be a slave-state or free soil.

He failed to see that each time a new state went to the polls, every bully-boy in the USA would descend on that one state, to try to influence the vote, either legally by buying a cheap property to qualify as a voter, or illegally, by intmidating the local citizens and trying to get the result declared to be rigged.

By all accounts, Senator Stephan A. Douglas was against slavery. And, as was the norm in the US and on a world wide basis in the middle of the 19th century, many people had the belief that either their nationality, ethic group or race, placed them above other peoples. This is an outdated and wrong idea.
