Answer 1

The idea expressed by Abraham Lincoln in this speech B. began his run for the presidency

Whilst you did not include the speech in question, I believe it to be the "House Divided" Speech that was delivered by Abraham Lincoln as he sought to win a Senate seat.  

In the speech, Lincoln talked:

• about how a lasting compromise on slavery needed to be reached as it could dissolve the Union
• about how slavery should be limited from spreading into new territories
• about how the Supreme Court ruling in Dred v. Scott set a dangerous precedent that allowed slavery to spread

Abraham Lincoln lost the election to Stephen Douglas but the ideas he expressed here got him nationwide attention and contributed to his victory just two years later to become President of the nation.

In conclusion, the ideas expressed in the "House Divided" speech began Lincoln's run for presidency even if he didn't know it then.
