Announcements Test on Friday – Causes of the Civil War Review on Thursday Syllabus due with signature on Friday

Essential Question (s) What was the political climate leading up to the Civil War? Who were the new political parties to arrive on the scene, and what was their impact?

What is this map showing us? How many free and slave states after Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854?

Whigs Split over slavery Could not stay together because of disagreement on the Kansas Nebraska Act (1854) Believed in infrastructure, business

Know-Nothing Party Formed in 1854 “I know nothing” Believed in Nativism The favoring of native-born Americans over immigrants Didn’t like Catholics Split over slavery

WHO WERE THE KNOW-NOTHINGS AND WHAT DID THEY BELIEVE IN?

Free-Soil Party Formed in 1848 Opposed slavery in the territories

Democratic Party Founded in 1828 Most Southerners were Democrats Most were pro-slavery with regard to the territories Advocates of States’ Rights There were some anti-slavery democrats

Republican Party Founded in 1854 Opposed Kansas-Nebraska Opposed the expansion of slavery in the territories Mainly Northerners

Write a short paragraph answering the following question: Who were the new political parties to arrive on the scene, and what was their impact?

Essential Question(s) 10.4 What were the immediate causes of the Civil War up to and including the election of Abraham Lincoln?

Review: The Fugitive Slave Act Part of The Compromise of 1850 Alleged fugitive slaves not entitled to jury trial

Dred Scott v. Sansord (1857) STORY Dred Scott was a slave whose owner took him north of the Missouri Compromise line in 1834 He lived in free territory in Illinois and Wisconsin for four years When Scott’s owner died he sued for his freedom

Dred Scott continued… The Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert B. Taney handed down the decision: Slaves did not have the rights of citizens The Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional Congress could not forbid slavery into the territories; doing so would violate the slaveholders right to property as protected by the Fifth Amendment

WHO DO YOU THINK THIS DECISION MADE HAPPY?

“God’s Angry Man”

John Brown’s Raid - Harpers Ferry John Brown plans to start a slave uprising, needs weapons 1859, leads band to federal arsenal in Harpers Ferry to get arms U.S. Marines put down rebellion, capture Brown Brown is hanged for high treason, December 1859 Many Northerners admire Brown; Southerners fear future uprisings

The Election of 1860 Democrats split over slavery Lincoln wins with less than half of popular vote gets no Southern electoral votes

Southern Succession South Carolina and 6 other states secede: want complete independence from federal control fear end to their way of life want to preserve slave labor system Feb. 1861 Confederacy or Confederate States of America forms Confederacy permits slavery, recognizes each state’s sovereignty Former senator Jefferson Davis unanimously elected president

“A house divided” With a partner, discuss what Lincoln is trying to say. “’A house divided against itself cannot stand.’ I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further spread of it and place it where the public mind shall rest in the belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction, or its advocates will push it forward till it shall become alike lawful in all the states, old as well as new, North as well as South.”
