Prelude To War

Contrasting Economies 75% of Americans lived in rural areas. North Industrialized (5 times more than South) 90% of skilled workers Immigrants = competition = lower wages

South 10% of Nation’s capital in 1860 Slave labor (4 million slaves) About 24% of Southerners owned slaves. 88% of them owned less than 20 slaves. Farmers not planters 10,000 big planters (50-100 slaves) 3,000 planters owned more than 100 slaves 14 owned 1,000 slaves or more

Economic Division North/South divided on taxation North supported taxes on imports South opposed these taxes Based on needs Population increase in north could = power grab (“Northern Aggression”). Slavery expansion to new states.

Slavery in New Territories Missouri Compromise 1820 Keep balance of free/slave states. Admit Maine as free & Missouri as slave Missouri’s southern border becomes “slavery line”. North of line will be free. South of line will be slave.

Slavery in New Territories Wilmot Proviso August 8, 1846 David Wilmot—Democratic congressman (PA) Territories gained from the Mexican War are to be closed to slavery Backed by northern states but not southern Passes in Congress but fails in Senate…twice

Slavery in New Territories California Late 1849: pass a constitution forbidding slavery regardless of Missouri Compromise California pursues admission to the Union

Compromise of 1850 Created by Henry Clay Terms: California admitted as a free state Utah and New Mexico territories decide about slavery (Popular Sovereignty) Texas-Mexico boundary dispute resolved, and Texas paid $10 million by federal government The trading of enslaved persons is banned—but slavery is not—in D.C. Stricter fugitive slave law

Protest, Resistance, and Violence Fugitive Slave Act Return anyone believed to be a fugitive. Paid $10 upon return by government Penalties if convicted of helping an alleged fugitive Underground Railroad Harriet Tubman Made 19 trips to the south freeing over 300 slaves including her parents Southern authorities placed a $40,000 bounty for her capture Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) Harriet Beecher Stowe Best Seller—fictional book that successfully stirred up anti-slavery feelings in the north.

Tensions in Kansas and Nebraska January 23, 1854: Stephen Douglas introduces a bill to create 2 new states. Slavery issue to be decided by Popular Sovereignty Would nullify the Missouri Compromise Bitter debate in congress and publicly Northerners despised Douglas President Pierce (D) helps bill pass 1854: Kansas-Nebraska Act passes

“Bleeding Kansas” Race to get into new territories…why? Some people looking for a better life, some sent in by agencies both pro & anti-slavery. March 1855 Kansas population large enough for a territorial legislature. Fraudulent election of legislatures Proslavery side wins and sets up in Lecompton Issues pro-slavery acts Abolitionists organize a rival government in Topeka months later

Violence “The Sack of Lawrence” Antislavery founded town Proslavery grand jury condemned them as traitors and ordered local officials to arrest the people May 21, 1856: 800 proslavery men “attack” the town: Burned down the antislavery headquarters Destroyed 2 printing presses Looted many homes/stores

Violence “The Pottawatomie Creek Massacre” John Brown learned of events in Lawrence Believed news that 5 people had been killed in Lawrence Followers went to the settlement, grabbed 5 men out of their beds, cut off their hands and stabbed them Killings trigger violence throughout Kansas and over 200 more will be killed.

Violence in Senate May 19, 1856 Sen. Charles Sumner verbally attacked pro-slavery colleagues for 2 days Verbally attacked Sen. Andrew Butler (S.C.) due to his proslavery beliefs and his impaired speech.

Violence in Senate May 22, 1856 Butler’s nephew Congressman Preston S. Brooks attacked Sumner and beat him with his cane. Sumner suffers brain damage and is out of work for 3 yrs. Southerners send Brooks new canes North and South splitting more as their political parties deteriorate and a new antislavery party will be formed.
