Mexican Victory - Was it truly a victory? Free Soilers wanted abolition Southerners wanted extension of Missouri Comp. line Popular Sovereignty

Clay to the Rescue one last time Compromise of 1850 Admission of CA as a free state Division of remainder of Mexican territory Settlement of Texas/New Mexico boundary D.C. abolition of slave trade More effective fugitive slave law

Enforcing Fugitive Slave Act “Man-stealing law” Boston Mob (1854) Vigilance committees Personal-liberty laws Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Underground Railroad Informal chain of anti-slavery stations Harriet Tubman Was it truly effective or simply the principle of the matter?

Election of 1852 End of the major parties? Fugitive Slave Act fragmented Whig Party (Winfield Scott) Democrats Lewis Cass James Buchanan Stephen Douglas Dark horse (Pierce) Franklin Pierce swept election

South’s Quest Cuba Gadsden Purchase Seize by force Black Warrior Ostend Manifesto Gadsden Purchase All about railroads $10 million

Kansas-Nebraska Act Stephen Douglas Problems Solution No southerners would vote for the bill Where is Railroad? Missouri Compromise Line? Solution Assume Comp of 1850 applies to ALL territory
