1 Chapter 4 The Union in Peril
Section 1 The Divisive Politics of Slavery

2 Differences Between North and South
South=Plantation Economy relied on the “peculiar institution” North= Industrialized Economy did not rely on slavery.

3 Slavery in the Territories…?
California’s population exploded and applied for statehood. California forbade slavery which went against the Missouri Compromise (any state south of Missouri would have slavery) The Compromise of California admitted as free states, and tougher fugitive slave laws. Allowed popular sovereignty for future states.

4 Protest, Resistance, and Violence
Underground Railroad- secret network created to aid fugitive slaves. Harriet Tubman… Uncle Tom’s Cabin- Written to express how slavery is also a moral problem, abolistist got up in arms, slave owners felt attacked.

5 “Bleeding Kansas”- people came from all over to vote in Kansas to support their ideas.
Violence in the Senate- fistfights occurred in Senate due to the heated debates. Kansas and Nebraska- originally just Nebraska was split into two states (Kansas and Nebraska) Kansas would be closed to slavery Nebraska would not. But it was up to popular sovereignty.

6 New Political Parties Emerge
Slavery Divides Whigs, which allows the Democrats to dominate politics. Free-Soilers’ Party- 3rd party that opposed expansion of slavery and received 10% of votes. New Republican Party- had Anitslavery Whigs and Democrats, free-soilers, and nativist. Would be able to challenge democrats.

7 Conflicts Lead to Secession
Dred Scott Decision- slave brought to free state and believed he should be free, but supreme court claimed property is protected and slaves are property.

8 Southern Secession- South Carolina was first in 1860, felt they lost their political voice. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas all soon followed and eventually formed the Confederacy. With their own constitution, Jefferson Davis was elected president. Lincoln vs. Douglas Debates over slavery (we will read about this further) Lincoln is President- stated he wanted to stop the spread of slavery but not touch existing slavery.

9 Vocabulary Secession The formal withdrawal of a state from the Union. Popular Sovereignty The right to vote for or against slavery. Underground Railroad Secret network of people who would hide and help fugitive slaves. Harriet Tubman Famous underground railroad “conductor” Harriet Beecher Stowe Author Uncle Tom’s Cabin Franklin Pierce 1852 Democratic candidate for President.
