History
This enabled Abraham Lincoln to win the Presidency in 1860. Each year there is also a reenactment of the debate, which has been shown on C-SPAN. A life size statue recreating the event was dedicated in 1992. The nickname is a reminder of Freeport's ethnic heritage; in the late 1850s, many German-American both from Pennsylvania and from their European homeland, resettled in Stephenson County. Freeport is known as the 'Pretzel City', and its public high school's team is named the Pretzels.
