The Compromise of 1850 satisfied both sides: the North, which provided that California be admitted to the Union as a free state, and the South, which proposed a new and more effective fugitive slave law.

Question 47

Compare and contrast how the Missouri Compromise and the Kansas-Nebraska Act proposed to deal with slavery.

Answer 47

The Missouri Compromise legally closed slavery. Despite this, the territory of Nebraska would enter the Union as two states, one free and one slave, which maintained the balance in the Senate between North and South. However, this changed so that whatever laid North of it was now legal to slavery. On the other hand, the Kansas-Nebraska Act proposed that the area be divided into two territories. If it passed it would repeal the Missouri Compromise. After months of strife, the Kansas-Nebraska Act became law in May 1854.

Question 48

Why did Douglas believe that popular sovereignty would solve the problem of slavery in the Nebraska Territory? Why did popular sovereignty, in fact, lead to “Bleeding Kansas,” instead of settling the issue of slavery in the Nebraska Territory?

Answer 48

Douglas believed that popular sovereignty would solve the problem of slavery in the Nebraska Territory because he thought that popular sovereignty was the democratic way to resolve the slavery issue. Popular sovereignty led to “Bleeding Kansas” instead of settling the issue of slavery in the Nebraska Territory because settlers overcrowded the Kansas territory in search of new land. This caused thousands of “border ruffians” from the slave state of Missouri to cross into Kansa with their revolvers.
