史蒂芬·阿諾·道格拉斯

**史蒂芬・阿諾・道格拉斯**（英語：Stephen Arnold Douglas，1813 年 4 月 23 日 —1861 年 6 月 3 日），美國佛蒙特州布蘭登人，是一名民主黨籍的政治家。道格拉斯曾任聯邦眾議員與聯邦參議員，也是內布拉斯加法案的設計者，並曾在 1860 年代表民主黨參選美國總統，但敗於共和黨的亞伯拉罕・林肯。道格拉斯先前在 1858 年伊利諾州參議員選舉中與林肯的辯論中戰勝了他。他曾推動通過了 1850 年妥協案來防止蓄奴問題導致更大的南北區域分歧。道格拉斯堅持倡導人民主權，認為美國領地蓄奴與否的問題應自行解決、而不受到聯邦干涉。該立場同時被蓄奴主義者和廢奴主義者反對。由於其較小的體型和具有影響力的政治地位，道格拉斯常被稱為 **「小巨人」** 。

## 職業生涯

### 1860 年總統選舉

#### 提名

道格拉斯在 1858 年重新勝選參議員鞏固了他在民主黨黨內獲取 1860 年美國總統選舉提名的可能。他的支持者主要來自北方和中西部，而如亞歷山大・史蒂芬斯的一些親聯邦南方政客也同意他的主張。道格拉斯和時任總統詹姆斯・布坎南不合，而他的弗里波特主義主張則讓更多南方參議員對其反感。在第 36 屆美國國會中，布坎南聯合其南方盟友豁免了道格拉斯的議院領土委員會主席的職位。道格拉斯協助阻止了通過聯邦奴隸條款，而後他建立農業贈地大學的法案被布坎南否決。
