Stephen Douglas IL Senator – Head of Senate Committee on Territories Popular Sovereignty Kansas-Nebraska Act “If we will only act conscientiously and rigidly upon this great principle of popular sovereignty, which guarantees to each State and Territory the right to do as it pleases on all things, local and domestic, instead of Congress interfering, we will continue at peace one with another... Under that principle we have become, from a feeble nation, the most powerful on the face of the earth, and if we only adhere to that principle, we can go forward increasing in territory, in power, in strength and in glory until the Republic of America shall be the North Star that shall guide the friends of freedom throughout the civilized world.”– Senator Stephen Douglas,1858

THE STEAMSHIP "STAR OF THE WEST.“ From Harper’s Weekly, January 19, 1861

Jefferson Davis & Alexander Stephens Confederate Leaders 1861

If cotton had not become the premier cash crop, would sectionalism have been a problem in the United States? If US territory had remained bound to the eastern side of the Mississippi River, would sectionalism have intensified? It Texas had remained outside of the US, would that have altered the course of events? If the US had not gone to war with Mexico, would the North and South have become so diatremically opposed to one another around one issue?
