As a result an imaginary line was drawn across the southern border of Missouri at latitude N. and it only applied to the Louisiana Purchase. Missouri Compromise(1820) Proposed by Henry Clay to keep the number of free states and slave states equal.

USA

Admission of California as a State In 1849, the number of free states equaled the number of slave states at 15/15. Tempers flaired with the admission of California because the balance between free and slave states would be off set.

Tempers Flair California applied for admission to the Union in 1850 to be a free state. The issue was so heated that Senator Thomas Hart Benton of Missouri had a gun pulled on him by Senator Henry Foote of Mississippi while in the Senate.

Tempers Flair

“Get out of the way, and let the assassin fire! Let the scoundrel use his weapon! I have no arms! I did not come here to assassinate” - Sen. Hart - Missouri

“I only meant to defend myself!” Sen. Henry S. Foote - Mississippi

“For God’s sake gentlemen order!” V.Pres. - Fillmore

“It’s a ridiculous matter, I apprehend there is no danger on foot!

Problem in 1850 w/ California? 15 Free States15 Slave States

Compromise of 1850 Composed of FIVE parts: –Allowed California to enter Union as free state. –Formed territories of New Mexico and Utah and decision of slavery based on popular sovereignty –Ended slave trade in Washington, D.C. –Created a strict slave law – Fugitive Slave Act –Settled a border dispute between Texas and New Mexico

Fugitive Slave Act: an act that outraged All citizens required to report runaway slaves Caught helping fugitive slaves would result in a $1000 fine and jail Judges given rewards for sending runaway slaves back to south Northerners become a part of the slavery system

Author: Harriet Beecher Stowe Antislavery Bestseller Published in 1852 Showed the evils of slavery and Fugitive Slave Act Popular in North and hated in the South Southern complaint: did not give a true picture of slave life Made more northerners see slavery as immoral

Kansas & Statehood However, shortly after the Compromise of 1850 proslavery and antislavery forces struggled to for Kansas.

Kansas-Nebraska Act Proposed by Stephen Douglas. Established territories of Kansas and Nebraska. Gave settlers popular sovereignty to decide on slavery issue.

Two Governments in Kansas Proslavery: Elections in 1855, established a proslavery legislature. New laws were passed that made helping slaves escape punishable by death Antislavery: Refused to abide by laws of the proslavery government. Established their own governor and legislature.

Dred Scott Slave that was from Missouri and had lived in Wisconsin and Illinois. (two free states) After Scott returned to Missouri his owner died. Issue led to the Supreme Court case known as Dred Scott v. Sandford.

Issues at hand Scott’s lawyers argued that he had lived in a free territory, so he was a free man. Did Scott still remain a slave? What legal rights did Scott possess?

Dred Scott Court ruled that Scott could not file a lawsuit because he was not a citizen. Court decision also stated that slaves were considered to be property. The Supreme Court also ruled that Congress could not outlaw slavery, which made the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional.
