Next Stop (John Brown's Raid)

Next stop(1860) Abraham Lincoln

  • Abraham Lincoln was elected by a considerable margin in 1860 despite not being included on many southern ballots. As, a republican his party's anti-slavery outlook struck fear into many Southerners. On december 20,1860 a little over a month after the polls closed south carolina seceded from the unions. Six more states followed by the spring of 1861.
  • John Brown cut his teeth as a killer as an anti-slavery “Jayhawker” during Bleeding Kansas. In mid-October of 1859, the crusading abolitionist organized a small band of white allies and free blacks and raided a government arsenal in Harpers Ferry, Virginia. He hoped to seize weapons and distribute them to Southern slaves in order to spark a wracking series of slave uprisings.
  • Although Brown captured the arsenal, he was quickly surrounded and forced to surrender by soldiers under the command of Colonel Robert E. Lee. He was tried for treason and, upon his execution, became a martyr for the abolitionist cause. Southerners, on the other hand, began to militarize in preparation for future raids.

Next stop (1854-1861)

Next stop (1861) The battle of fort sumter

  • With secession, several federal forts, including Fort Sumter in South Carolina, suddenly became outposts in a foreign land. Abraham Lincoln made the decision to send fresh supplies to the beleaguered garrisons.
  • On April 12, 1861, Confederate warships turned back the supply convoy to Fort Sumter and opened a 34-hour bombardment on the stronghold. The garrison surrendered on April 14.
  • The Civil War was now underway. On April 15, Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers to join the Northern army. Unwilling to contribute troops, Virginia, Arkansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee dissolved their ties to the federal government.
  • The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, narrowly passed while Congressmen brandished weapons and uttered death threats in the House chambers, overturned parts of the Missouri Compromise by allowing the settlers in the two territories to determine whether or not to permit slavery by a popular vote.
  • Pro- and anti-slavery agitators flocked to Kansas, hoping to shift the decision by sheer weight of numbers. The two factions struggled for five years with sporadic outbreaks of bloodshed that claimed fifty-six lives. Although both territories eventually ratified anti-slavery constitutions, the violence shocked and troubled the nation.

Next stop (1857) Dred Scott v. Sanford

  • Dred Scott was a Virginia slave who tried to sue for his freedom in court. The case eventually rose to the level of the Supreme Court, where the justices found that, as a slave, Dred Scott was a piece of property that had none of the legal rights or recognitions afforded to a human being.
  • The Dred Scott Decision threatened to entirely recast the political landscape that had thus far managed to prevent civil war. The classification of slaves as mere property made the federal government’s authority to regulate the institution much more ambiguous.
  • Southerners renewed their challenges to the agreed-upon territorial limitations on slavery and polarization intensified.

Next Stop ( 1850) The Compromise

ROAD MAP TO THE CIVIL WAR

  • With national relations soured by the debate over the Wilmot Proviso, senators Henry Clay and Stephen Douglas managed to broker a shaky accord with the Compromise of 1850. The compromise prevented further territorial expansion of slavery while strengthening the Fugitive Slave Act, a law which compelled Northerners to seize and return escaped slaves to the South.
  • While the agreement succeeded in postponing outright hostilities between the North and South, it did little to address, and in some ways even reinforced, the structural disparity that divided the United States. The new Fugitive Slave Act, by forcing non-slaveholders to participate in the institution, also led to increased polarization among centrist citizens.

Next stop (1854-1861)

  • The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, narrowly passed while Congressmen brandished weapons and uttered death threats in the House chambers, overturned parts of the Missouri Compromise by allowing the settlers in the two territories to determine whether or not to permit slavery by a popular vote.
  • Pro- and anti-slavery agitators flocked to Kansas, hoping to shift the decision by sheer weight of numbers. The two factions struggled for five years with sporadic outbreaks of bloodshed that claimed fifty-six lives. Although both territories eventually ratified anti-slavery constitutions, the violence shocked and troubled the nation.

Next stop (1852) Uncle Tom's Cabin

  • Harriet Beecher Stowe’s fictional exploration of slave life was a cultural sensation. Northerners felt as if their eyes had been opened to the horrors of slavery, while Southerners protested that Stowe’s work was slanderous.
  • Uncle Tom’s Cabin was the second-best-selling book in America in the 19th century, second only to the Bible. Its popularity brought the issue of slavery to life for those few who remained unmoved after decades of legislative conflict and widened the division between North and South.

Next stop ahead (1831) Turners Rebellion

BLAST FROM THE PAST STARTS HERE

  • You have arrived in 1831 where you will go back in time with us to the Nat Turners Rebellion. Around in August of 1831, a slave named Nat Turner incited an uprising that had spreaded through several plantations in Southern Virginia. Even more, Turner and approximately seventy cohorts killed around 60 white people. The deployment of militia infantry and delivered suppressed the Rebellion after 2 days of extreme terror. Around 55 slaves including Turner were executed for their role in the insurrecton. Around two hundred more were lynched uprisings by frenzied mobs. Although small scale slave uprisings were fairly common in the American south Nat Turners Rebellion was the bloodiest. Lastly, the Virginia lawmakers reacted to the crisis by rolling back what few civil rights slaves and free black people possessed at the time. Even more, education was prohibited and the right to assemble was severly limited.

Welcome to 1820 (The Missouri Compromise)

  • Following the Louisiana Purchase, congress had cmpelled to establish a policy to guide the expansion of slavery into the new western territory. Even more, Missouri's application for statehood as a slave state had sparked a bitter national debate. More, so the moral issue posed by the growth of slavery, the addition of pro-slavery faction a congressional majority. In result, congress reach a series of agreements that became known as the missouri compromise. Missouri was soon admitted as a free state, preserving the congressional balance. A line drawn through the terriories dividing north and south as free and slave.
