Word of the Day… Election of 1860

CAUSES OF THE CIVIL WAR

THE MISSOURI COMPROMISE (1820) 1.) Missouri entered as a slave state 2.) Maine entered as a free state. 3.) The 36’ 30’’ line is drawn. This line was suppose to decide whether slavery would be allowed in certain territories or not.

COMPROMISE OF 1850 COMPROMISE AGAIN!  California enters as a FREE state.  Area from Mexican Cession divided into Utah and New Mexico. Slavery issue to be decided by POPULAR SOVEREIGNTRY.  Made a STRICT Fugitive Slave Law

FUGITIVE SLAVE ACT (1850) It was a law that REQUIRED citizens to catch runaway slaves. If a person did not comply, they could be fined or jailed MANY blacks who were free were captured and sent back into slavery. Northerners HATED this law because it forced them to become a part of the system of slavery.

UNCLE TOM’S CABIN (1852) This was a NOVEL written by Harriett Beecher Stowe. It was written to show the EVILS of slavery by telling the story of an older slave who was whipped to death by his owner. After reading it, MANY Northerners began to change their view of slavery. Southerners said the book was full of LIES!

Think Time... How did people in the North view slavery before Uncle Tom’s Cabin? Were they as aware of the issues of slavery? What were their feelings after the publication of Uncle Tom’s Cabin?

KANSAS-NEBRASKA ACT (1854) Creates Kansas and Nebraska. Decided that SLAVERY issue would be decided by POPULAR SOVREIGNTY. Led to “BLEEDING KANSAS” Northerners believed this REPEALS the Missouri Compromise.

POTTOWATOMI CREEK KILLINGS (1856) John Brown and four of his sons, decide to take the law into their own hands. They rode into a small town named Pottowatomi Creek and pull five pro-slavery men out of their beds in the middle of the night. Brown kills them. “Bleeding Kansas” He believed he is doing what “GOD has told him to do”. Many Northerners, while they didn’t believe in slavery, were appalled at what he did.

DRED SCOTT DECISION (1857) Dred Scott was a slave. He had lived in a free territory with his owner. His owner moved back into a slave state. While there, the owner died. Scott had ABOLITIONIST attorneys file a law suit for him. It went to the Supreme Court but he LOST. The Court ruled he was NOT a citizen but RATHER property and therefore he could not file a lawsuit. Also, they ruled that Congress could NOT ban slavery in any of the territories. This REPEALED the Missouri Compromise. Southerners LOVED the ruling while Northerners HATED it. It meant slavery could spread into all the territories!

Think Time... How did the Dred Scott decision view slaves? How would this make you feel if you were a slave? How did this further contribute to the division between North and South?

LINCOLN-DOUGLAS DEBATES (1858) Lincoln and Douglas debated for the Illinois senate seat. Douglass believed in deciding slavery by popular sovereignty. Lincoln believed that slavery should NOT be allowed to spread into the territories. Lincoln ALSO believed the Nation could not survive if the fighting continued to rip the Union apart with the slavery issue.

RAID ON HARPER’S FERRY (1859) John Brown was at it again! This time, he led five blacks and thirteen whites into Harper’s Ferry. They planned to raid an arsenal and start a slave revolt. Problem: No slaves “rose” to help. A number of his men died and Brown was arrested by Robert E. Lee. Brown was tried and found guilty of murder and treason. He was later hanged. Some Northerners thought of him as a “Martyr” (someone who dies for his beliefs.)
