Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Trace the growing conflict over the issue of slavery in the western territories. Analyze the importance of the Dred Scott decision. Explain how the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 led to secession. Objectives

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Terms and People Wilmot Proviso – proposed, but rejected, 1846 bill that would have banned slavery in the territory won from Mexico in the Mexican-American War Free-Soil Party – antislavery political party of the mid-1800s Compromise of 1850 – political agreement that allowed California to be admitted as a free state by allowing popular sovereignty in the territories and enacting a stricter fugitive slave law; undid the Missouri Compromise

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Terms and People (continued) popular sovereignty – political policy that permitted the residents of federal territories to decide whether or not to allow slavery Harriet Beecher Stowe – abolitionist author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin Kansas-Nebraska Act – 1854 law that divided the Nebraska Territory into Kansas and Nebraska giving voters in each territory the right to decide whether or not to allow slavery

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Terms and People (continued) Dred Scott v. Sandford – 1857 Supreme Court ruling that slaves were property, the federal government could not ban slavery in any territory, and the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional Abraham Lincoln – Republican who was elected President in 1860 John Brown – abolitionist executed for leading an 1859 attack on a federal arsenal in Harper’s Ferry, Virginia secede – to withdraw formally from a membership in a group or an organization

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 How did the issue of slavery divide the Union? Regional differences in the U.S widened in the 1800s, with the North developing an industrial economy and the South depending on plantation agriculture and slavery. In time, conflict over the issue of slavery led to the Civil War.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 The failed Wilmot Proviso would have prohibited slavery in the new territories, while allowing it to continue in the South. The question of slavery in the West became a major issue after the Mexican-American War. In 1848, a new political party called the Free- Soil Party called for “free soil, free speech, free labor and free men.”

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 In 1850, California sought statehood, which threatened the balance between free and slave states in Congress. The Compromise of 1850 allowed California to enter as a free state, while other new territories decided the issue of slavery through popular sovereignty. The Fugitive Slave Act required citizens to help apprehend runaway slaves.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 In 1854, the Kansas- Nebraska Act allowed popular sovereignty in Kansas and Nebraska, causing proslavery and antislavery settlers to flock to Kansas. Uncle Tom’s Cabin, an antislavery novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, increased opposition to slavery.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 In 1861, Kansas entered the Union as a free state. Violence between the two sides earned the territory the nickname “Bleeding Kansas.” By 1856, Kansas had two governments, one proslavery, the other antislavery.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 In 1856, Democrat James Buchanan ran for President. His opponent was John C. Frémont of the new Republican Party. Although Frémont lost, the Republican Party—which opposed the extension of slavery into the western territories— gained new popularity.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 In 1857, the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision widened divisions between North and South. The Supreme Court ruled against Scott, stating that slaves were property, not citizens. The Court also said that the federal government could not ban slavery in any territory.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Republican Abraham Lincoln said that African Americans had the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” The Lincoln-Douglas Illinois Senate debates of 1858 crystallized the slavery issue for many Americans. Democrat Stephen Douglas—who supported popular sovereignty—won the Senate race, but Lincoln gained national attention.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Brown was arrested, tried, found guilty of treason, and executed. Abolitionists saw him as a heroic martyr to the antislavery cause. The sympathy he received in the North enraged southerners. Hoping to inspire a slave revolt, radical white abolitionist John Brown in 1859 tried to seize a federal arsenal in Harper’s Ferry, Virginia.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Northern Democrats picked Stephen Douglas. Southern Democrats chose John Breckinridge. John Bell was a fourth candidate. Lincoln’s reputation for integrity gained him the Republican nomination for President in 1860.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 With the Democratic Party split, Lincoln won, taking 18 northern and western free states. He won only 40% of the popular vote but 60% of the electoral vote.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 In time, four more states followed. Convinced that northern states would now control national politics, South Carolina seceded from the Union in December 1860 and was soon joined by six other states. They formed the Confederate States of America. The Confederate constitution stressed each state’s independence and guaranteed the protection of slavery.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 At first, Lincoln said he could not compel Confederate states to return to the Union. But then the Confederacy began seizing federal military bases in southern states. When Fort Sumter in South Carolina needed supplies, Lincoln told the Confederacy that he was sending food but no weapons.

Chapter 25 Section 1 The Cold War BeginsThe Union in Crisis Section 2 Confederates decided to seize the fort before the supplies arrived. The Fall of Fort Sumter marked the start of the Civil War. In April 1861, after the Union commander refused to give up the fort, Confederate troops fired on it until the federal troops surrendered.
