2 Growing Frustrations North: South: Growing abolitionist sentiment
Protests against Fugitive slave law Whig party split, dies out in 1852 Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1852) Republican Party created (1854) South: North disobeying Fugitive Slave Act Democrats split on sectional lines How to expand slavery now? “Fillibustering” and the Ostend Manifesto Democrats win in ’52 (Pierce), but still not enough

3 Popular Sovereignty: A Solution?
Proposed by Stephen A. Douglas (IL) Pro-western plan Popular Sovereignty: the people in each territory vote on the slavery issue Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) PS in practice Approved by Pierce Contradicts Missouri Compromise
