The document discusses several key events in the buildup of tensions between free and slave states in the United States from the 1820s to 1860. It summarizes that the Missouri Compromise of 1820 aimed to balance slave and free states. It also discusses how the annexation of Texas as a slave state and the Mexican-American War increased tensions. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed settlers to vote on whether the territories would be slave or free, sparking violence. The Dred Scott decision upheld that slaves were property under the Constitution. John Brown's raid in 1859 further inflamed tensions, and Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 without any Southern votes contributed to states beginning to secede.

John Brown led a raid on the federal arsenal in Harper's Ferry in 1859 hoping to arm slaves and start an uprising. He was captured, convicted of treason, and hanged. His actions increased tensions between northern abolitionists and southern slaveholders. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president, despite not being on the ballot in many southern states. As southern states increasingly feared the potential end of slavery, seven states seceded from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America, with Jefferson Davis as its president.

Civil War Upload
The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865 between the Northern and Southern states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. Key conflicts included the Missouri Compromise, Nullification Crisis, Compromise of 1850, Kansas-Nebraska Act, Dred Scott decision, John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry, and Lincoln's election in 1860 which led Southern states to secede and form the Confederacy. Major battles such as Bull Run, Antietam, Gettysburg, and Vicksburg turned the tide in favor of the Union, and the war ended with Lee's surrender in 1865. Reconstruction worked to rebuild the South and amendments were passed to abolish slavery and grant citizenship and voting rights to African Americans.

Events leading up to the civil war
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Civil War. As the nation's borders expanded after the 1840s, Americans had to decide whether slavery would be allowed in the new western territories. Initially, compromise seemed possible, but as debate and violence increased, it became clear the nation could not remain half slave and half free. Territorial acquisitions, the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Second Great Awakening, and the Compromise of 1850 all failed to resolve the issue of slavery in the new lands. Abolitionists like William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown intensified their campaigns. The Dred Scott decision and the Kansas-Nebraska Act further inflamed tensions. Ultimately, the issue

Causes Of Civil War
The document outlines several key events and issues that increased tensions between the North and South and ultimately led to the Civil War, including disputes over the balance of power between federal and state governments regarding the issue of slavery, attempts at political compromises over the spread of slavery to new territories that failed to resolve the core disagreements, and the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 which prompted southern states to begin seceding from the Union.
Failures of Compromise and the Prelude to War
This document discusses the growing tensions around the issue of slavery in the United States leading up to the Civil War. It outlines several compromises attempted to balance the interests of slaveholding and free states, including the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which divided states between slave and free, and the Compromise of 1850 which included a stronger Fugitive Slave Act. However, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 repealed the Missouri Compromise boundary and led to violent clashes known as "Bleeding Kansas" as both sides fought over whether the territories would allow slavery, further exacerbating the national divide and strengthening the new Republican Party in opposition to the expansion of slavery.
The Divisive Politics of Slavery
The document summarizes the key events leading up to the Compromise of 1850. It describes the industrial growth and increasing immigration in the North and the rural plantation economy in the South. As the country expanded westward after the Mexican-American War, tensions rose over whether slavery should be allowed in the new territories. The Compromise of 1850 was proposed by Henry Clay and included provisions to admit California as a free state, enact a stronger Fugitive Slave Act, and determine the status of slavery in Utah and New Mexico through popular sovereignty. Key figures like Clay, Daniel Webster, John C. Calhoun, and Stephen A. Douglas all played roles in the tense debates over slavery and attempts to broker a compromise.
Build Up To War
The document discusses the build up to the American Civil War between slave states and free states. It outlines several key events, including the Missouri Compromise of 1819 which admitted Missouri as a slave state while also adding Maine as a free state. The Compromise of 1850 included the controversial Fugitive Slave Act, requiring citizens to help catch runaway slaves, which increased tensions. Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe criticized slavery and further divided North and South on the issue, raising the possibility of Southern states seceding from the Union and sparking civil war.
Key Events Leading to the Civil War
The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Civil War, including the abolitionist movement, the Underground Railroad, political compromises around the issue of slavery, the Dred Scott decision, Bleeding Kansas, John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, and Southern states seceding after the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860. It provides context on the growing sectional divide between free and slave states over the issue of expanding slavery into new territories.

The election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the expansion of slavery but could not end it where it existed, was the final spark that led Southern states to secede and the Civil War to begin with the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter in 1861.
Road to the civil war (1)
The document summarizes key events from the Mexican War to the outbreak of the Civil War that increased tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery. These included the expansion of slavery into new territories acquired after the Mexican War, debates over popular sovereignty in the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Bleeding Kansas, and Lincoln's election in 1860 without any Southern electoral votes, which prompted several Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
Protest, Resistance, and Violence
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established that any new states admitted to the union would enter in pairs, with one being a slave state and one being a free state. It also drew a line at the 36°30' parallel, with slavery being permitted south of this line and prohibited north of it. The Compromise of 1850 introduced the concept of "popular sovereignty," allowing settlers in New Mexico and Utah territories to decide the status of slavery themselves. The Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 required the return of escaped slaves and penalized those who helped fugitive slaves. This further increased tensions between the North and South leading up to the Civil War.
California and the civil war part 2
This document discusses the political battles over slavery in California in the decades leading up to the American Civil War. As California was gaining statehood, pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces fought over whether it would enter the union as a free or slave state. The discovery of gold in California brought an influx of miners who largely opposed slavery, helping ensure it became a free state. However, pro-slavery politicians and businessmen continued trying to legalize slavery in California and other western territories to maintain the political balance between free and slave states. These tensions were a contributing factor to southern states eventually seceding and the outbreak of the Civil War.

The Civil War began due to longstanding tensions between the Northern and Southern states over the issues of slavery and states' rights. The Northern states relied on industry and opposed the expansion of slavery, while the Southern states relied on agriculture and the institution of slavery. Several attempts were made to reach compromises on the issues through political measures like the Compromise of 1850, but tensions continued to rise due to events like the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act leading to violence in Kansas, and the Dred Scott Supreme Court decision. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected President as the first Republican candidate, and in response several Southern states seceded to form the Confederate States of America.

The document summarizes key events from the 1850s that increased political tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery and contributed to the start of the Civil War. These included the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which repealed the Missouri Compromise and allowed settlers to decide whether new territories would be slave or free; the Dred Scott decision finding that Congress could not ban slavery; John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry; and Lincoln's election in 1860 without any Southern electoral votes, leading seven Southern states to secede and form the Confederacy.
4. causes of the civil war
The Civil War was caused by longstanding divisions between the North and South over the issues of states' rights and slavery. Key events exacerbating tensions included the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Compromise of 1850, the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, the Dred Scott decision, Lincoln's election in 1860, and South Carolina's secession from the Union in response. The Civil War began when Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina in 1861.
US History Chapter 15
The admission of new states to the Union exacerbated tensions over the issue of slavery. As new western territories sought statehood, debates emerged over whether they would permit or prohibit slavery. The Compromise of 1850 and Kansas-Nebraska Act attempted to address this by appealing to popular sovereignty but failed to resolve conflicts. John Brown's raid against pro-slavery settlers in Kansas heightened national tensions. Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860 as the first Republican president led southern states to secede, forming the Confederate States of America in an effort to protect the institution of slavery. The outbreak of war became inevitable as the North and South took opposing stances on whether states had the right to secede, with the attack on Fort Sumter

The document summarizes key events related to slavery and western expansion between 1850-1860. It discusses the Compromise of 1850 which admitted California as a free state and established popular sovereignty in the Utah and New Mexico territories. Tensions rose as the Kansas-Nebraska Act established popular sovereignty in those territories, resulting in violence between pro- and anti-slavery settlers in "Bleeding Kansas." The 1857 Dred Scott decision found African Americans could not be citizens and Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories, further dividing the North and South. Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860 without any Southern electoral votes, prompting several Southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America.
Irreconsilable period 1
From 1856 to 1860, sectional tensions between the North and South intensified due to several key events and issues:
1) The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 established the principle of "popular sovereignty" but led to violent clashes in "Bleeding Kansas" as both sides fought over whether Kansas would be a slave or free state.
2) The Dred Scott decision in 1857 inflamed tensions by ruling that Congress could not regulate slavery in the territories and that blacks were not citizens.
3) John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859 and the publication of Hinton Helper's book Impending Crisis of the South increased Southern fears of Northern abolitionism.

The document discusses the growing sectionalism between the northern and southern states in the United States leading up to the Civil War. It describes how the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 intensified tensions over the issue of slavery and whether new states would be slave states or free states. The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 was the breaking point that led 11 southern states to secede and form the Confederate States of America. While the northern and southern states had economic and cultural differences, the dividing issue was ultimately slavery and the balance of power in Congress.
Slavery (Ch. 10)
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to balance the number of slave and free states admitted to the Union. It admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, and divided the Louisiana Territory along the 36°30' parallel between free and slave territory. However, the issue of slavery continued dividing the nation and fueled the formation of new political parties in the 1850s. Rising tensions led several southern states to secede from the Union after Abraham Lincoln's election in 1860, in an effort to form the Confederate States of America and protect the institution of slavery.

Civil War Catalysts
There were several events leading up to the Civil War that increased tensions over the issue of slavery:
1) The Missouri Compromise of 1820 attempted to regulate slavery in the Louisiana Purchase territories by prohibiting it north of the 36°30' parallel, but could not resolve the status of slavery in future territories.
2) The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 established the principle of "popular sovereignty" for determining slavery in the territories but led to violent clashes between pro- and anti-slavery settlers in "Bleeding Kansas."
3) John Brown's raid on Harpers Ferry in 1859, though a failure, polarized the nation and increased sectional tensions by portraying Brown as a mart

Crisis of the_1850s_final
The Compromise of 1850 established harsher fugitive slave laws that turned many Northerners against slavery and strengthened the abolitionist movement. Tensions further increased over the Kansas-Nebraska Act and "Bleeding Kansas", the 1856 election of Republican Lincoln, and the Dred Scott decision allowing the expansion of slavery into new territories. By 1860 the nation was polarized, leading Southern states to secede after Lincoln's election but before he took office, forming the Confederate States of America.

Freedmen faced difficult conditions during Reconstruction. Sharecropping allowed farmers to work land in exchange for a share of the crop but planters often deducted costs, fined workers, and prevented them from leaving if in debt. Tenant farming let families rent land and equipment but costs were high long-term. The Ku Klux Klan targeted free blacks, northern politicians, and southern allies through intimidation and violence to resist Reconstruction changes. Reconstruction ultimately failed due to northern fatigue, southern resistance, and compromises that withdrew federal oversight from the south.

George H.W. Bush served as vice president under Ronald Reagan and was elected president in 1988. As president, he led a coalition of forces in the Persian Gulf War to expel Iraqi forces after Iraq invaded Kuwait. Though the ground war lasted only 100 hours, it was a major foreign policy success for Bush. However, he broke his "no new taxes" campaign promise when budget deficits created by Reagan required raising taxes. This broke promise hurt his re-election bid in 1992.
