Chromium forms many colorful compounds that have industrial uses. Lead chromate (PbCrO4), also known as chrome yellow, has been used as a yellow pigment in paints. Chromic oxide (Cr2O3), also known as chrome green, is the ninth most abundant compound in the earth's crust and is a widely used green pigment. Rubies and emeralds also owe their colors to chromium compounds.
The debates between Stephen Douglas and Abraham Lincoln have been described as the most famous war of words in history.. The two men, the Democratic Little Giant and the Republican Tall Giant, met for a series of debates throughout Illinois.
Lincoln was opposed to the expansion of slavery. The Lincoln-Douglas debates brought national attention to Lincoln. Lincoln was 49 years old at the time of the debates. I hope that this has been a help to you.
