4. Missouri Compromise • Year: 1820 • What happened • Missouri wanted to be a slave state-but they were denied at first. • The compromise: • Missouri would be admitted as a slave state • Maine would be admitted as a free state • The rest of the land would be divided at the 36030’ line of latitude • Only dealt with: the LOUISIANA PURCHASE territory!

5. Publishing of The Liberator • Year: 1831 • What was it: • An abolitionist newspaper that: spread the word about the atrocities surrounding slavery. As time went on, it gained more and more popularity and argued for the immediate emancipation of slaves. • Published by: William Lloyd Garrison

6. Nat Turner’s Rebellion • Year: 1831 • What happened • Nat Turner = “man of destiny” • Rebellion: he led over 40 slaves that killed about 60 whites. Turner was later arrested and executed. • It led to a fear of free African Americans

7. Compromise of 1850 • Year: 1850 • What land did this cover: the Mexican Cession • What are the 4 parts: • California a free state • The rest of the territory (Utah and NM) would have popular sovereignty (people rule) • The slave trade was banned in Washington D.C. • MOST CONTROVERSIAL PART- a stronger fugitive slave law- said that if a northern suspected an African American was a runaway slave and they did not turn them in, they also could be jailed!

8. Uncle Tom’s Cabin • Year: 1852 • Harriet Beecher Stowe- nicknamed by Lincoln “Little lady who started the great, big war” • A book that detailed the atrocities of slavery based on a family led by “Uncle Tom.” Written after the Fugitive Slave Law was passed- tried to make slavery into a moral issue.

9. Kansas-Nebraska Act • Year: 1854 • Land was perfect for farming, Stephen Douglas proposed (popular sovereignty). • Made the Missouri Compromise: void(would be free) • Led to the creation of the Republican Party- committed to ending the spread of slavery in the new territories.

10. Bleeding Kansas • Year: 1856 • Bloodshed/fighting over the issue of slavery. Over 200 people died and millions of damage to property was done. • Pottawatomie Massacre started “Bleeding Kansas”- here pro-slavery settlers are murdered by abolitionists. • Who started it: John Brown

11. Dred Scott v. Sandford • Year: 1857 • Dred Scott was a slave, thought he should be free b/c he had been taken by his master to free territory. • Ruling: Slaves were property. Property is guaranteed by the Constitution and CANNOT be taken away. Therefore, Scott cannot be freed b/c his master moved. • Ruling allows slavery to spread everywhere (owners can move with property) VS

12. Attack on Harper’s Ferry • Year: 1859 • Abolitionist attack on the federal armory at Harper’s Ferry, Virginia (now WV). The plan was to steal the weapons and give them to slaves in the south so they could lead their own rebellions and gain their freedom. It fails. • John Brown (same from Bleeding Kansas)- he is captured and executed. Divides country more: North sees him as a hero/martyr and the South sees him as a terrorist.

13. Lincoln-Douglas Debates • Year: 1858 • Debates for the Illinois senator race. They talk about many issues- the most important is slavery. • Freeport Doctrine: Douglas says he supports popular sovereignty. • This is VERY important because when he runs for president in 1860, splits the Democratic Party 3 ways (1 part pop sov supports abolition, and 1 part supports slavery)

14. Election of Lincoln • Year: 1860 • What happened: With the democratic party split 3 ways due to their different ideas about slavery, Lincoln wins the Election of 1860 with all of the Republican support. • Remember: Republicans ONLY support an end to slavery in the territories, not complete abolition • BUT- many states fear that slavery will soon be outlawed. • As soon as Lincoln is announced having won the election, South Carolina secedes. • 5 other states follow: Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, and Texas. • The form the Confederate States of America and name Jefferson Davis their president.

15. Fort Sumter • Year: 1861 • Lincoln needs to deal with the secession of the now “confederate” states. Instead of declaring war, he announces that he is sending more troops and supplies. • SC will fire upon the U.S. ships which would lead to war that THEY started or they will back down and the issue will be over. • SC fires upon U.S. ships- the U.S. navy is forced to retreat and both sides declare war on each other. • The final four states secede: VA, NC, TN, and AR • Four states stay with the US- called “border states” b/c they still had loyalties to the Confederate states.

16. U.S. Map Activity • Create a key containing the following: • Label all the “Northern States” in one color • Label all the “Confederate States” in another • Find and label all “Border states” in another
