Growing Frustrations North: South: Growing abolitionist sentiment Protests against Fugitive slave law Whig party split, dies out in 1852 Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) Republican Party created (1854) South: North disobeying Fugitive Slave Act Democrats split on sectional lines How to expand slavery now? “Fillibustering” and the Ostend Manifesto Democrats win in ’52 (Pierce), but still not enough

Popular Sovereignty: A Solution? Proposed by Stephen A. Douglas (IL) Pro-western plan Popular Sovereignty: the people in each territory vote on the slavery issue Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) PS in practice Approved by Pierce Contradicts Missouri Compromise

“Bleeding Kansas” Issue of slavery comes to popular vote in Kansas (’55-56) Abolitionists and Pro-Slavers send in voters, weapons “Beecher’s Bibles” Violence ensues A civil war before the Civil War Pro-slavery group proposes the Lecompton Compact Vote for Kansas constitution with or without slavery Either way, slave owners rights were “protected” Voters refused to go along, supported by Douglas Democrat party now totally split

Increasing Violence Violence In Congress John Brown Incident Senator Sumner’s “Crime Against Kansas” Speech Sumner attacked by Congressman Preston Brooks “Bully” Brooks John Brown Incident Violent abolitionist Raid on Harper’s Ferry (Va. 1859) Planned to create a slave rebellion Brown captured an executed Brown a “martyr”
