Compromise of 1850-two laws favored
the North, two the South, and
one law allowed the territories to
decide.

The Coming of War
After the Compromise of 1850, the Whig party will never again win a presidential election. Other political parties are created:
Free Soil Party-abolitionists American Party-anti-Catholic and anti-immigrant
![Page 12: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The American party was frequently called the “Know-
nothings”.
They did very well in local elections.
![Page 13: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Kansas-Nebraska Act
In order to split up the disputed territory of Kansas/Nebraska in 1854, Stephen Douglas of Illinois
proposed that they be allowed popular sovereignty. This would force the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise.
![Page 14: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The act supported the practice of popular sovereignty--letting the
people in the territory decide whether slavery wold be allowed
there.
![Page 15: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
After 9 months of debate, it passed, but everyone was angry about it. Because of this, the Republican party was created as an anti-slavery, anti-South, strong central gov’t party in 1854.
![Page 16: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Republicans drew support from Free Soilers, Whigs, anti-slavery
Democrats, and abolitionists.
![Page 17: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Kansas-Nebraska
Act brought violence between
free soilers and pro-slavery.
![Page 18: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Bleeding Kansas
On May 21, 1856, open violence erupted when pro-slavery Southerners looted newspaper offices and homes in Lawrence, KS.
![Page 19: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
John Brown, an evangelical anti-slavery CT native, believed that
he was God’s chosen instrument and responded by gathering some men
and killing 5 pro-slavery settlers with swords while
their families watched. This would not help
matters.
![Page 20: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Rep. Preston Brooks (D-SC) beat Sen. Charles Sumner (R-MA) senseless, becauseof some anti-slavery remarks he had made.
![Page 21: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Brooks resigned from the House, but South Carolina immediately re-elected him. He was presented with numerous canes as gifts from well-wishers.
Sumner suffered severe neurological damage and spent years recovering in Europe.

Dred Scott
Scott v. Sanford
![Page 23: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Buchanan won the election and promised to stop the North’s
“agitation of slavery”. He hoped that the Supreme Court would do this, but they only made things
worse. Two days after Buchanan’s inauguration, they handed down the
Dred Scott decision.
![Page 24: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
In Scott v. Sanford, the slave Dred Scott sued his owner in Missouri, saying that since they had once
lived in free states that they were free. The SC ruled that slaves were property and that people could not be deprived of property without the due process of the 5th Amendment.
![Page 25: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Northerners were outraged! This meant that Congress had no power to ban slavery anywhere. So the
MO Compromise was illegal, and the Compromise of 1850 was
illegal. “Slavery follows the flag!” Buchanan thought this would be the
end of the slavery issue.
![Page 26: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Kansas was unwilling to accept any SC ruling as law. In 1857, a small
proslavery group elected a Constitutional Congress to apply for
KS statehood. The “LeCompton Constitution” was so offensive that
anti-slave people refused to participate in the vote.
![Page 27: Chapter 11 The Coming of the Civil War. Harriet Beecher Stowe](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062217/56649ea95503460f94bad7c9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Buchanan, hoping to end the debate on slavery, urged Congress to
approve the LeCompton Constitution. This was too much
even for Northern Democrats. Stephen Douglas (D-IL) spoke out against it. Congress sent it back to
KS for a vote where it was defeated.
