The Underground Railroad
The Underground Railroad was a network of people places and routes int the North taht led slaves to freedom in large cities, black communities, and Canada. Runaway slaves, free slaves, stockholders, and abolistionists were involved in the UGRR. Conductors ran the whole thing. Shepherds would escort the runaways along the routes to the stations. To help keep all of this going stockholders donated money, clothes, and food. The UGRR was needed to help the runaway slaves reach their destination. -
Nat Turners Rebellion
this from happening they were even harder and more abusive towards their slaves hoping this would scare the idea of rebelling out of their heads. Nat Turner was tried for the many murders, as were many others that were involved. Some being luckier than others and the other way around. Nat Turner was hung for his doings. ( I chose Oct. 2 1800 for the date because this was the date Nat Turner was born and I feel like he was born to be different and more brave than the others around him) -
Nat Turner's Rebellion
Nat Turner finally got fed up with the plantation owners in his area so he started a slave rebellion. This rebellion killed about 60 plantation owners and there families. After Turners rebellion the turnout wasn't as he most likely expected, killing all of the plantation owners that he did only made the life of a slave just that much more difficult. This uprising just scared the many other plantation owners, they were worried that their slaves would do the same thing Turner did so to prevent -
The Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise was a two part compromise. Missouri gained admission to the Union as a slave state, with this the 36’ 30 line was established. Also Maine was admitted to statehood. This enabled the Senate to keep the slave/ free state balance. ( date Missouri petitioned for statehood) -

His most famous being titled The Liberator. Garrison's writings had changed the views of many towards slavery. Due to these writings that were turning so many against slavery Georgia put a price on his head they wanted him out of the way of their precious slavery. -
William Lloyd Garrison
Garrison wrote with such a passion that not many others had how he wrote about what he believed in is was made Garrison so famous. (I chose the date Jan. 1st 1831 because this was the day the first issue of The Liberator Garrison's most famous piece was published) -
The Compromise of 1850
The Compromise of 1850 was created to end disputes over the land gained in the Mexican American War. There were five parts to this Compromise, first California was admitted to the Union as a free state, deciding what to do with the gained territories(New Mexico and Utah), ending the argument between Texas and New Mexico about Texas's border and finally ending the slave trade in Washington DC. That sums up the Compromise of 1850.(Sep. 19 Fillmore signed and congress passed the Compromise) -
Kansas-Nebraska Act
The Kansas- Nebraska Act was proposed by Stephen Douglas in 1854. This act would decide whether or not there would be slavery in the new border states by using popular sovereignty. The Kansas- Nebraska Act is one of the two events that overruled the Missouri Compromise. This starts a conflict between the pro-slavery Northerners and the anti-slavery Southerners later leading to Bleeding Kansas. (date the act was passed) -
Dred Scott Case
( Mar. 6th 1857 was the day Scott's case decision was finalized.) -
Dred Scott Case
Dred Scott was born a slave. Scott had lived in the North for 12 years with an Army Surgeon, because of how long he had lived in the free states he felt he should be able to be free. He tried to sue for his freedom, his case went to the supreem court. They told him he had no right to even be there to sue because slaves were thought of just as property. During this the Missouri Compromise was declared void because slaves are property and slave owners should be able to take their property anywhere -
Bleeding Kansas
Bleeding Kansas also known as bloody Kansas is the name to what was a bloody battle.The bloody conflict was over whether or not Kansas would enter the Union as a free or a slave state. The Southern states believed that the choice should be made through popular soverienty, the North completely disagreed wanting the 36 30 line to come into consideration. The Missouri Compromise recently being overturned by the Kansas- Nebraska Act was not much help to the Northern side of this conflict. -
Bleeding Kansas
What seemed to be a never ending horrific battle ended fairly easily when on January 29th 1861 Kansas was submitted to the Union as a free state. -
Presidential Election of 1860

Presidential Election of 1860
During the Presidential Election of 1860 a lot was going on. such as the dispute about slavery spreading to the territories, When the votes were counted Breckinridge had taken the majority of the South due to the fact he wanted to expand slavery, Douglas only carried two votes, Bell had the three border states and Lincoln got the entire North without one single Southern vote which outraged the Southerners to the point where they wanted to split up the Union which is just what they did starting -
