Cotton was increasingly more important crop in the south and farmers could not get people to work for them because they had opportunities to purchase land cheap in the West so resorted to Slavery 3. 1819, 21 states, 11 free, 10 slave. clash about MO as a state. MO going to be a slave state and this created conflict so Congress admitted Maine as a free state at the same time. 4. After the MO compromise, slavery was not allowed north of latitude 36 degress. MO discriminated against free blacks, uproar in Congress by anti-slavery supporters, who wanted to kick MO out of US. Henry Clay proposed 2nd MO compromise (Henry Clay was known as the Great Compromiser) 2nd Compromise was when Henry Clay made it so that MO could not be a state, unless they complied with the Constitution and not their own constitution. 5. During this time, nation enjoyed the "era of good feelings"- people moving west, industry growing in north, agriculture growing, to support all these economic activities, groups were borrowing heavily from the banks. Problems with the banks and the fact that England could get cotton cheaper from India, caused an economic decline in America. 6. High tariffs were passed and South Carolina threatened to secede from union. Tariffs were lowered, but divisions in the regions of the country were getting deeper, the abolition movement was growing rapidly 7. At the same time, TX became a republic, wanted to become a state, TX allowed slavery. Congress said no because of the balance of free and slave sates. They were afraid of war with Mexico, which ended up happening 1845. 8. After Mexican War over, it established the Southwestern boundary of the US as the pacific ocean. 9. US continued to grow, adding new territiores that would later become states. Northerners wanted these states to not be allowed to have slavery and the Southern states wanted them to be slavery. A third facion (group of peope) wanted "popular sovereignty" which means the people lived in the territories could decide wether they wanted slavery or not. Result- Comprommise of 1850. This was California was a free state, no more slave trading in Washington D.C., New Mexico and Utah could decide for themselves and stricter measures for capturing runaway slaves were mandated. 10. 1854, Congress passed Kansas-Nebraska act. People were to decide for themselves wether to permit slavery (Kansas was called Bleeding Kansas because of extreme violence, because of 2 governments exisited there. One pro-slavery, one anti-slavery). 11. Slavery was helped by the Supreme Court in 1857, with the case of Dred Scott. Scott was a slave whose owner had taken him from MO (slave state) to IL (free state) to Minesota territory (free state), back to MO (slave state). Abolitionist said he was free becuase he lived in a free state & free territory. But Supreme Court said because he was not a US citizen and was ownded by a master, he had no rights. Abolitonists wee furious, but could not do anything about it. They could not get an ammendment in the constitution to prohibit slavery in the territories because there weren't enough states that would support it. There wouldn't be a 3/4 majority, 12. 1858, Abraham Lincoln and Steven Douglas were running for senator against each other. Douglas (democrat) was favored to win. Lincoln (republican) believed slavery was wrong and should not be allowed in any territories. Douglas believed in popular sovereignty and got the Kansas-Nebraska act passed. Douglas won senate, but it cost him the nomination for president in 1860. 13. 1859, abolitionist John Brown and others seized federal arsenal at Harpors Fairy in West Va. He planned to give the guns to slaves nearby, and lead a rebellion. but, he and his men were captured, and he was hanged.
