DON’T FORGET TO STUDY FOR QUIZ ON THURSDAY, SECTION 14.1 & 14.2!

14.1 Section Objectives Explain why conflict arose over the

issue of slavery in the territories after the Mexican-American War.

Identify the goal of the Free-Soil Party. Describe the compromise Henry Clay

proposed to settle the issues that divided the North and the South.

Section Focus Question

How did the question of admission of new states to the Union fuel the debate over slavery and states’ rights?

It threatened to upset the balance between free states and slave states.

Introduction Why might attempts to

compromise fail? In this section we will study

how the admission of new states and acquisition of territories reopened the debate over the expansion of slavery and how Congress compromised on these issues.

Background Missouri Compromise of 1820 –

banned slavery in much of the Louisiana Territory – postponed further conflicts

Why did the admission of Texas and new territories create controversy in Congress?

The addition of Texas, which permitted slavery tipped the balance of power in Congress toward slaveholding states.

Background The victory in the Mexican War

raised the question – should slavery be allowed in any territory acquired from Mexico?

Slavery and the Mexican-American War

The outbreak of the Mexican War helped revive debates over slavery.

Americans faced the question of whether slavery should be allowed in territory acquired from Mexico.

Wilmot Proviso Background: The Missouri

Compromise did not apply to the huge territory gained from Mexico in 1848.

In 1846 (at the start of the war), Representative David Wilmot of Pennsylvania proposed a plan.

He suggested that Congress ban slavery in all territory that might become part of the United States as a result of the Mexican-American War.

Wilmot Proviso The Proviso passed the

House of Representatives , but failed in the Senate.

The Proviso never became law, but created alarm in the South. Supporters of slavery viewed it as an attack on slavery by the North.

Rise of the Free-Soil Party The controversy over the Wilmot Proviso led to the rise of a new anti-slavery political party.

1848 - Democratic candidate for President, Senator Lewis Cass suggested letting the people in each new territory or state decide for themselves whether to allow slavery.

Cass suggested using popular sovereignty in these areas.

Rise of the Free-Soil Party

Popular Sovereignty – meant that people in the territory or state would vote directly on issues, rather than having their elected representatives decide.

August 1848, antislavery Whigs and Democrats joined forces to form a new party called the Free-Soil Party

Free-Soil Party What was the goal of the Free-Soil

Party? To prevent the spread of slavery to

territory gained in the Mexican-American War.

Party chose former Democratic President Martin Van Buren as its candidate in the 1848 Election.

He only won 10 percent of the popular vote. Zachary Taylor won the election

Election of 1848 Both of the major parties hoped to avoid the slavery issue's

divisiveness in 1848. Since President Polk refused to consider a second term, the Democrats turned to Lewis Cass of Michigan, a rather colorless party loyalist. Cass advocated "popular sovereignty" on the slavery issue, meaning that each territory should decide the question for itself — a stance that pleased neither side. The Whigs nominated Zachary Taylor, hero of the Battle of Buena Vista, whose earlier military blunders had been forgotten. Taylor had no political experience and had never voted.

The election picture was clouded by the presence of two other parties. The Liberty Party, which had run with some success on an anti-slavery platform in 1844, tried again in 1848, but lost its issue to a stronger challenger. The Free-Soil Party nominated former president Martin Van Buren, who garnered nearly 300,000 votes—more than enough to deny victory to Cass and the Democrats.

How did slavery affect the presidential election of 1848?

› Democrats – Chose Lewis Cass – favored popular sovereignty

› Whigs – Zachary Taylor (Hero from the Mexican-American War)– political views unknown

› Free-Soil Party – antislavery Whigs and Democrats formed the party. They demanded that Congress prohibit the expansion of slavery into the territories.

How did slavery affect the presidential election of 1848?

Free-Soil – nominated former president Martin Van Buren

The Free-Soil Party attracted enough votes in 1848 to cost the Democrats the presidency (spoiler)

Zachery Taylor won the election of 1848!

Compromise of 1850 - Background

Debate over California: Northerners argued that California

should be a free state because most of the territory lay north of the Missouri Compromise line.

Southern leaders threatened to secede (withdraw) from the nation if California was admitted to the Union as a free state.

Compromise of 1850- Background

Other issues dividing the North and South:

Northerners wanted the slave trade abolished in Washington, D.C.

Southerners wanted northerners to catch fugitive slaves.

After months of debate, the “Great Compromiser,” Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky worked out a plan to satisfy both sides. He did the same for the Missouri Compromise of 1820 as well.

Compromise of 1850 - Proposals

Proposed admitting California as a free state

Abolish the slave trade in the District of Columbia, (D.C.)

Pay Texas $10 million to abandon its claim to the eastern part of the New Mexico Territory

Compromise of 1850 - Proposals

Also proposed the New Mexico Territory be organized into two territories – New Mexico and Utah on the basis of popular sovereignty to persuade southerners to accept his terms.

Proposed Congress pass a tougher fugitive slave law.

The Great Debate› Clay’s proposal ignited angry debate in Congress

› John C. Calhoun – warned that the time for compromise was past.

› Civil War could only be avoided if the North allowed slavery to exist in the territories.

The Great Debate Daniel Webster (Whig) – supported

Clay’s compromise measures – He argued that because the

climate of the territories was not suitable for growing cotton, slavery could not take root there.

And legally barring slavery would anger southerners needlessly; endorsed a stronger fugitive slave law.

The Great Debate

Many northern abolitionists opposed Clay’s compromise proposals on moral grounds

Proslavery southerners rejected any compromise, insisting that slavery be allowed in the territories

The Great Debaters Henry Clay of Kentucky, John C. Calhoun of

South Carolina, and Daniel Webster of Massachusetts dominated national politics from the end of the War of 1812 until their deaths in the early 1850s. Although none would ever be President, the collective impact they created in Congress was far greater than any President of the era, with the exception of Andrew Jackson. There was one issue that loomed over the nation throughout their time in power — slavery. They were continuously successful in keeping peace in America by forging a series of compromises. The next generation's leaders were not.

The Great Debaters: Webster, Clay, & Calhoun

Section 14.2 Objectives Summarize the main points of the

Compromise of 1850. Describe the impact of the novel Uncle

Tom’s Cabin. Explain how the Kansas-Nebraska act

reopened the issue of slavery in the territories.

Describe the effect of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

14.2 Section Focus Question

What was the Compromise of 1850, and why did it fail?

It was a compromise that allowed California into the Union as a free state and included a fugitive slave law; it angered both the North and the South.

Compromise of 1850 In September of 1850,

Congress finally passed five bills based on Clay’s proposals.

This series of laws became known as the Compromise of 1850.

President Millard Fillmore supported the Compromise and signed it into law.

The real cause of the premature death of Zachary Taylor has not been able to be established.  On the fourth of July in 1850, Zachary Taylor ate a snack of milk and cherries at a celebration of Independence Day.  He also sampled a few dishes by citizens who wished him well.  He died suddenly five days later on July 9, and the cause of death was listed as gastroenteritis.  He was then interred into the Public Vault of the Congressional Cemetery located in Washington, D.C.  Then later he was placed in a mausoleum in Louisville, Kentucky, where it is called the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery.  

In the late 1980s, it was proposed that Zachary Taylor was murdered by way of poison, and his closest living relative was convinced and the Coroner of Jefferson County, Kentucky ordered an exhumation.  His remains were exhumed in 1991 and the Chief Medical Examiner of Kentucky conducted radiological studies of samples of fingernail, hair, and other tissues.  Then the remains were returned to the cemetery.  The arsenic levels were several hundred times lower than they would have been if he had indeed been poisoned.  

President Millard Fillmore

Who got what in the Compromise of 1850?

The North: California admitted to Union as a

free state. The slave trade was banned in the

nation’s capital. However, Congress declared that it

had no power to regulate the slave trade between states.

Who got what in the Compromise of 1850?

The South: Popular sovereignty would be used

to decide the question of slavery in the rest of the Mexican Cession.

People in these states created from the territory would vote whether to be a free state or a slave state.

Southerners got a tough new fugitive slave law.

Compromise of 1850What the North Gets What the South Gets

California admitted as a free state

No slavery restrictions in Utah or New Mexico territories.

Slave trade prohibited in Washington, D.C.

Slaveholding permitted in Washington, D.C.

Texas loses boundary dispute with New Mexico

Texas gets $10 million

Tougher Fugitive Slave Law

Compromise of 1850

Reactions to the Compromise

Debate revealed deep sectional divisions The basic issue of whether slavery would

be allowed to expand remained unsolved.

What did the Compromise of 1850 do about slavery in the District of Columbia?

It outlawed the buying and selling of slaves there.

Why was slavery in D.C. such an important issue?

As the nation’s capital, it had special significance for northerners and southerners alike.

The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850

What was the Fugitive Slave Act? Law that made it a federal crime to

assist runaway slaves. Authorized the arrest of escaped

slaves even in states where slavery was illegal.

Special government officials arrested any person accused of being a runaway slave.

Captured people had no right to prove they had been falsely accused.

How did the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 affect northerners’ views on slavery?

Roused vigorous opposition in the North

People who supported Compromise of 1850 were shocked at the government’s enforcement of the law.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin Written by Harriet Beecher Stowe Stowe was the daughter of an

abolitionist minister. Why did Stowe write Uncle Tom’s

Cabin? She wanted to make people see

slavery as evil. Published in 1852, the novel was

about kindly Uncle Tom, an enslaved man who is abused by the cruel Simon Legree.

HarrietBeecherStowe(1811 – 1896)

So this is the lady who started the Civil War.-- Abraham Lincoln

Impact of Uncle Tom’s Cabin

Antislavery novel helped stir northern opposition to the law

Novel dramatized: plight of runaway slaves, showed how slavery degraded slave masters, broke up black families, and made a mockery of Christian morality.

Sold over a million copies. Convinced many northerners that slavery was morally wrong and should be abolished immediately.

Kansas-Nebraska Act› 1853 - Illinois Senator, Stephen Douglas

proposed legislation for the construction of a railroad to run from Chicago to the Pacific Ocean.

› Bill required Congress to organize Kansas and Nebraska into territories.

› Bill reopened the issue of expanding slavery

› To win southern support, Douglas proposed the slavery in the new territories be decided by popular sovereignty.

› Congress passed the act in 1854.

Why did Kansas-Nebraska Act reignite the debate over slavery?› Act organized the lands on the basis

of popular sovereignty› By allowing new states formed from

territories to be received into the Union with or without slavery, as their constitution may prescribe at the time of admission, this act repealed the Missouri Compromise.

› Act renewed southern hopes of expanding slavery

Kansas-Nebraska Act, 1854

Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854

Why did southerners support the act?

The popular sovereignty clause meant the territories might allow slavery and enter the Union as slave states.

Why were northerners angry with it?

Under the Missouri Compromise, slavery had not been allowed in the territories; now that ban could be lifted.

Douglas’ Gamble Stephen Douglas’ idea for the Kansas-

Nebraska Act resulted not only from belief in popular sovereignty, but also from his own interests and one critical miscalculation.

Douglas was trying to secure land for the transcontinental railroad through a route controlled by his clients and his own financial interests.

Douglas, however, miscalculated the tremendous growth of antislavery sentiment in the North. The result of the Kansas-Nebraska Act was to inflame northern suspicions and southern fears.

How did the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act affect Kansas?

Proslavery and antislavery settlers flooded into Kansas within weeks after the bill became law.

The Kansas-Nebraska act pitted antislavery and proslavery forces against one another for control of the new territories

Antislavery forces helped move antislavery families to the area to bolster their numbers

Proslavery forces countered by urging southerners to migrate to the new territories

Bleeding Kansas Proslavery raiders from Missouri

attacked antislavery Kansas settlers – violence erupted

The bitter battle that erupted between proslavery and antislavery factions in Kansas led newspapers to call it “Bleeding Kansas”

Bleeding Kansas As the two factions struggled for control of the territory, tensions increased. In 1856 the

proslavery territorial capital was moved to Lecompton, a town only 12 miles from Lawrence, a Free State stronghold. In April of that year a three-man congressional investigating committee arrived in Lecompton to look into the Kansas troubles. The majority report of the committee found the elections to be fraudulent, and said that the free state government represented the will of the majority. The federal government refused to follow its recommendations, however, and continued to recognized the proslavery legislature as the legitimate government of Kansas.

There had been several attacks during this time, primarily of proslavery against Free State men. People were tarred and feathered, kidnapped, killed. But now the violence escalated. On May 21, 1856, a group of proslavery men entered Lawrence, where they burned the Free State Hotel, destroyed two printing presses, and ransacked homes and stores. In retaliation, the fiery abolitionist John Brown led a group of men on an attack at Pottawatomie Creek. The group, which included four of Brown's sons, dragged five proslavery men from their homes and hacked them to death.

The violence had now escalated, and the confrontations continued. John Brown reappeared in Osawatomie to join the fighting there. Violence also erupted in Congress itself. The abolitionist senator Charles Sumner delivered a fiery speech called "The Crime Against Kansas," in which he accused proslavery senators, particularly Atchison and Andrew Butler of South Carolina, of [cavorting with the] "harlot, Slavery." In retaliation, Butler's nephew, Congressman Preston Brooks, attacked Sumner at his Senate desk and beat him senseless with a cane.

into being in the 1850. Summarize the issues involved in the

Dred Scott decision. Identify Abraham Lincoln’s and

Stephen Douglas’s views on slavery. Describe the differing reactions in the

North and the South to John Brown’s raid.

14.3 Section Focus Question

Why did the Lincoln-Douglas debates and John Brown’s raid increase tensions between the North and South?

Both events highlighted their divisions on slavery.

What led to the formation of the Republican Party?

To carry their message to the nation, antislavery voters flocked to a new party growing in the North.

Whig Party split apart in 1854 over slavery.

Reviving the name of Thomas Jefferson’s party, a group of antislavery Whigs and Democrats, together with some Free-Soilers created the Republican Party

Many antislavery Know-Nothings joined the Republican party after their party split over the slavery issue as well.

The New Republican Party The main goal of the Republican

party was to stop the spread of slavery into western territories.

Election of 1856: The Republican Party’s first presidential candidate was John C. Fremont.

Democrat, James Buchanan was elected, but Fremont won 11 of the nation’s 16 free states.

Election Map of 1856

Dred Scott Decision: Background

Only three days after Buchanan took office, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a shattering blow to antislavery forces in its decision of the case of Dred Scott vs. Sandford.

Dred Scott was a slave who had once been owned by a U.S. Army doctor. The doctor had moved around with Scott living in Illinois and Wisconsin Territory – both areas where slavery was illegal.

His owner died. After his death, Scott sued for this freedom, arguing that his residence in the free state of Illinois entitled him to it.

With the help of antislavery lawyers, Scott sued for his freedom arguing that he was free because he had lived where slavery was illegal.

Chief Justice, Roger B. Taney – southerner on the court, wrote the majority decision against Scott.

Taney determined that Scott was not a free man for two reasons:

1. Scott had no right to sue in federal court because African Americans were not citizens.

2. Merely living in free territory did not make an enslaved person free.

Dred Scott Decision

Dred Scott Decision conti…

Slaves were property and property rights were protected by the Constitution.

Taney declared that Scott was not a citizen and could not bring suit in U.S. courts – claim had no merit

Dred Scott v. Sanford, 1857

Recap – What were Taney’s three conclusions?

First, African Americans were not citizens, so the could not sue.

Second, if Scott were allowed to sue, he would lose, as he was his owner’s property.

Third, all slaves were property protected by the Constitution, so Congress could not make any laws banning slavery in the territories.

How did the Dred Scott decision affect the national debate over slavery?

Taney declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional.

Congress did not have the power to prohibit slavery in any territory.

Taney based his view that the Missouri Compromise violated the 5th Amendment to the Constitution, which forbids Congress to deny the right of property without due process of law.

Congress had acted unconstitutionally in barring slavery from the territory north of 36 30’

Reactions to the Dred Scott Decision

Supporters of slavery rejoiced at the decision.

Northerners were stunned. Decision outraged

abolitionists Intensified the sectional

conflict over slavery

Abraham Lincoln Lincoln had only a brief career in

politics. He served in the Illinois state

legislature, then he was elected to Congress as a Whig.

After one term, he returned home to practice law.

What brought Lincoln back into politics? His opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska

Act.

Lincoln Emerges…

Lincoln-Douglas Debates› Lincoln ran as the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat against Douglas.

› Lincoln challenged Douglas to a series of seven debates in 1858.

Lincoln-Douglas Debates› Lincoln attacked the Dred Scott

decision – he viewed slavery as a moral, social, and political wrong. Willing to tolerate slavery in the South, but firmly opposed its expansion in the territories.

› Lincoln challenged Douglas to explain how popular sovereignty was still workable in the wake of the Dred Scott decision

The Lincoln-Douglas (Illinois Senate) Debates, 1858

A House divided against itself, cannot stand.

Lincoln-Douglas Debates

The Giant and the Little Giant

Lincoln-Douglas DebatesDouglas’s argument – Freeport

Doctrine – the people of a territory could still prohibit slavery simply by refusing to pass the local laws necessary to make a slave system work.

Doctrine helped Douglas narrowly defeat Lincoln in the senate race, but in distancing himself from the Dred Scott decision, he damaged his standing with southern slaveholders.

Lincoln-Douglas Debates› The Lincoln-

Douglas debates helped Douglas win the U.S. Senate race but hurt his chances of ever becoming president.

Stephen Douglas Freeport Doctrine

Popular Sovereignty

Lincoln-Douglas Debates In 1858 Lincoln said… “A house divided against itself

cannot stand. I do not believe this government can endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved – I do not expect the house to fall – but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.”

Lincoln-Douglas Debates What did Lincoln mean by this

quote? The nation would have to make up

its mind about slavery and allow it either everywhere or nowhere.

Why do you think that debates between two candidates for Illinois senator were important to the whole country?

Lincoln and Abolitionists – Food for Thought

Lincoln was not an abolitionist in 1858, and many historians argue that he never was.

The Republican Party never called for the abolition of slavery.

Their party platform only opposed the expansion of slavery into the territories.

John Brown’s Raid of Harpers Ferry

John Brown set out to free slaves in Virginia

Brown with some 20 armed men seized the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry in West Virginia

He planned to arm the slaves, revolt, and establish an independent state in the southern Appalachian Mountains

Brown and his followers easily took possession of the armory. Federal troops under the command of Robert E. Lee assaulted Brown’s position. Killing half and capturing the rest

Brown was convicted and hanged.

John Brown, Hero, Villian or Martyr?

Mural in the Kansas Capitol buildingby John Steuart Curry

What is the significance of John Brown’s raid at Harpers Ferry?

Abolitionists saw Brown as a hero Southern whites viewed Brown as

a bloodthirsty fanatic – alarmed by the threat of slave revolts

Southern secessionists – pleased by the hysteria, believing that it helped their cause.

Reactions to John Brown’s raid widened the rift between the North and the South

Section 14.4 Objectives Describe the results of the

election of 1860. Explain why southern states

seceded from the Union. Summarize the events that led

to the outbreak of the Civil War.

Section 14.4 Focus Question

Why did the election of Abraham Lincoln spark the secession of southern states?

Southerners believed that Lincoln would make laws that would limit or abolish slavery.

Introduction – The Looming Crisis

As the election of 1860 drew near, Americans everywhere felt a sense of crisis.

The Presidential Election of 1860

Republicans chose Abraham Lincoln. Democrats split in two over slavery in

the territories. Northern Democrats chose Stephen

Douglas as their candidate. Southern Democrats picked Vice

President, John Breckinridge of Kentucky Southern Moderates formed the

Constitutional Union Party and nominated John Bell of Tennessee – he promised to protect slavery and keep the nation together.

The Election of 1860› Republican Platform – designed to

attract northern industrialists and wage earners and Midwestern farmers

› Opposed slavery in the territories› Called for free homesteads for western

settlers› Included federal support for

construction of roads, canals, and transcontinental railroad

› Tariff to protect industry› Supported liberal immigration policy

Results

1860 Election: A Nation Coming Apart?!

Secession Crisis! To many southerners, Lincoln’s

victory meant that the South had no voice in the national government.

They viewed his victory as a victory for abolition.

The President and Congress were now set against their interests – especially on the issue of slavery.

How did the South justify its crisis position?

South Carolina was the first southern state to secede from the Union.

Within days of the election, South Carolina’s legislature voted to leave the Union. Six other states soon followed.

1860 election mobilized the Deep South

President had been elected without winning a single southern state confirmed the South’s deepening sense of political powerlessness.

The Confederate States of America

1861 – 6 of the 7 seceding states met in Montgomery, Alabama to form a new nation called the Confederate States of America

Southern secessionists argued that since the states had freely joined the Union, they were free to leave it.

The Confederate States of America

They also drafted a Constitution: Their constitution guaranteed the

right to own slaves Stressed that each state was

sovereign and independent Jefferson Davis was the provisional

President of the Confederacy

The Civil War Begins When Lincoln became President on

March 4, 1861, he faced the greatest crisis in the nation’s history.

In his inaugural address he declared, “I have no purpose, directly, or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery where it exists”.

Lincoln’s most urgent problem was Fort Sumter.

The Civil War Begins Fort Sumter- located on an island

in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina.

The fort’s commander would not surrender it.

South Carolina authorities decided to starve the fort’s troops into surrender.

Lincoln did not want to give up the fort, but he feared that sending in troops would cause other states to secede.

Fort Sumter: April 12, 1861

The Civil War Begins April 12, 1861 – Confederate

artillery opened fire on the fort. After 34 hours of bombardment, the U.S. troops surrendered.

Why did the attack on Fort Sumter begin the war?

It was the first time the Confederates fired on a Union fort.
