MANIFEST DESTINY 1840’s expansion of the west exploded. Felt moving westward was predestined by God Reasons – abundance of land, new markets, new opportunities, spread Christianity "(It is)..our manifest destiny to over spread and to possess the whole of the continent which Providence has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty" In 1845 these words were written by John O'Sullivan, a democrat leader and editor newspaper

TEXAS INDEPENDENCE Texans claimed independence from Mexico - war -Remember the ALAMO(1836) The Mexican army killed all 187 US defenders Then Sam Houston and his rebels attacked a Mexican army and cried “Remember the Alamo” which ended the war and Texas gained independence

WAR WITH MEXICO 1845 –Texas entered the Union Pres. Polk –wanted all the land to the Rio Grande – Tried peace talks – Mexico refused Called for War Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo -Mexico agreed to border at the Rio Grande plus US gained NM and CA The US paid Mexico 15 million for the land.

Compromise of 1850 California would become a free state –New Mexico gets Texas Territory –D.C. gets rid of slave state South gets –New Mexico and Utah get popular soverienty (opportunity to choose whether they will be a free or slave state) –Texas will receive $10,000,000 for the land they lose to Mexico –Tougher Fugitive Slave Laws (Runaway slaves)

Kansas – Nebraska Act of 1854 (Stephen Douglas) Kansas would be a slave & Nebraska would be a free state Totally wrecked the Missouri compromise because Kansas was above the line. Technically – it would be decided by popular soveirenty (the right to choose)

Bleeding Kansas Slavery in Kansas People were angry because Kansas was above the line U.S. Senate –Mass senator Charles Sumner – Made an ugly speech about the south –A South Carolina Senator – Preston Brooks gets up and strikes sumner with a cane.

Sumner vs. Brooks Cont. Brooks resigns his seat, but was rejected by his people as they voted him back in. Sumner had to leave for treatment in Europe. Was badly injured from the beating. The Kansas problem spilled over into the Senate.
