Movement toward war

Influences Harriet Beecher Stowe Uncle Tom’s Cabin Written as a response to the Fugitive Slave Law. Energized Northern sympathies for the plight of the slaves. Huge influence on the outcome of the war.

Hinton R. Helper The Impending Crisis of the South Viewed slavery as hurting nonslaveholding whites. Added fuel to the fire. John Brown Fanatical abolitionist

Sumner-Brooks Fight Senator/Representative. Sumner-Mass. Brooks-SC. Sumner was an abolitionist who made disparaging remarks about Senator Butler of South Carolina. Brooks responds by beating him with a cane in the middle of the Senate.

Bleeding Kansas Failure of popular sovereignty. Groups vied for control of the state. New England Emigrant Aid Company. Sent abolitionists to Kansas to thwart the Southerners. First territorial legislature. “border ruffians” from Missouri. Bloodshed, separate gov’ts, etc.

Lecompton Constitution Attempt by Southern sympathizers to permanently establish slavery in Kansas. Supported by President Buchanan. Opposed by Stephen Douglas. Fought for true popular sovereignty. This episode resulting into the split of the democratic party.

Dred Scott Supreme Court decision. March 1857. Did residency in a free state give Scott the right to his freedom? Slaves had no rights under the Constitution. Slaves were property and could be taken into any territory. Congress had no power to ban slavery in the territories.

Things add up Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional. Territorial legislatures were themselves powerless to ban slavery. Rights of personal property guaranteed by the 5th Amendment take precedence.

Election of 1856
