  1. SLAVERY

  2. Early Slavery in 1600’s In 1619, 20 African slaves were imported to Virginia. Colonial slave trade starts in 1636 when slave carrier is built in Massachusetts. In 1676 slaves participate in Bacon’s rebellion. The first debates between North and South about slavery were in 1788 about the 3/5 compromise.

  3. Slavery Increases In 1793, the cotton gin is made; increases slavery. As more slaves enter the South, Missouri Compromise is made in 1820. 2 million slaves in 1830. As America expands more and the slave population increases, the Great Compromise of 1850 is made. Popular sovereignty is used to determine slavery.

  4. Tensions Rise Uncle Tom‘s Cabin is written describing the terribleness of slavery. 1854, Kansas-Nebraska Act makes that territory decided by popular sovereignty and Missouri Compromise is repealed. Dred Scott case says that slaves are property. Before the 1860 election the South, especially South Carolina, said that they will succeed if a Republican becomes president because Republicans highly favor anti-slavery. When Abraham Lincoln became president, the South finally decided to succeed and the Civil War began.
