Explanation for each option:

  • 1858: This is the correct answer. The Lincoln-Douglas debates took place in 1858 during the Illinois Senate race between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas.

  • 1848: This is incorrect. The year 1848 is notable for the end of the Mexican-American War and the beginning of the California Gold Rush, but it is not related to the Lincoln-Douglas debates.

  • 1819: This is incorrect. The year 1819 is known for the Panic of 1819, the first major financial crisis in the United States, and the admission of Alabama as a state, but it is not related to the Lincoln-Douglas debates.
