Popular Sovereignty? Election for Kansas How can each side of the conflict try to ensure victory for their cause? Get people to move their to vote Kill people from the other side!!!!! Raids continued all the way to the start of the Civil War Election fought over “an imaginary Negro in an impossible place” What does this mean? 2 slaves in Kansas/15 in Nebraska in 1860

Strange Saga of John Brown starts in Kansas Brown background- Rich old white guy Alton Massacre kills Rev. Elijah Lovejoy Brown vows- “Here before God, I consecrate my life to the destruction of slavery” Pottawatomie Massacre- hacked 7 pro slavery guys to death “Osawatomie Brown” kills 20 more Northern hero Amnesty to try and reduce violence allows Brown to return East to the North MORE FROM MR. BROWN TO COME!!!!!!

Bleeding Sumner!! Charles Sumner- Sen. from Mass. and ardent abolitionist, makes “Crime Against Kansas” speech Insults elder S. Car. Sen. Andrew Butler, and his “mistress of slavery” Preston Brooks, cousin of Butler, attacks Sumner on Senate floor Bludgeons him with cane, Sumner bed-ridden for 4 years “I gave him about 30 first rate stripes. Towards the last he bellowed like a calf. I wore out my cane completely, but saved the head, which is gold!”

Uncle Tom’s Cabin Harriet Beecher Stowe Millions of copies sold Depicted brutality and immorality of slavery “Uncle Tom”, Simon Legree Book was very popular in Europe. Important future ramifications!!!! Tom shows

Background of Dred Scott vs. Sandford Case Background of the Case Scott was a slave owned by Army Dr. Major Emerson Emerson moves to present day Minnesota and brings Scott Emerson died in 1843 Wife inherited slave, but moved to Mass. so she left Scott to her brother John Sandford of NY Scott sues for freedom on the basis that when his owner brought him to a free state and territory, he was technically free Lots of appeals, sheriffs office rents him out and keeps the profits in escrow

2. Scott was private property Dred Scott Decision Roger Taney- Chief Justice 3 parts to ruling 1. Scott was not a citizen, therefore he had no legal right to sue in a federal court 2. Scott was private property 3. Missouri Compromise is unconstitutional

Affect of Scott case Slavery can now possibly be legal in ALL TERRITORIES OF THE US! Splits Democrat party The North claimed it was an opinion and not a binding law (keep the nully going!)
