Harriet Tubman
Harriet Tubman was one of the most famous abolitionists. She took over 200 slaves to freedom and made at least 19 trips into the south. She was born a slave in 1820 in Maryland. She escaped when she was 29. She later then went back to the southern states to help escaping slaves. She bragged that in all of her 20 trips she never lost one slave. I chose this date because it is when she was born and when she died. -
The Missouri Compromise
The Missouri compromise is the compromise that said Missouri could be a slave state even thou it is north of the 36-30 line. This was made possible because main joined the union as a free state at the same time, so the balance of slave and free states would equal. -
Response to a Slave Rebellion-Nat Turner's rebellion
Nat turner was a religious man. He lead a group of 60 some slaves and rebelled, leaving 60 plantation owners dead. 3000 troop where sent to capture Nat Turner and his group, Most of the slaves in the Nat Turner rebellion where killed. Many slaves who did not participate where killed as well, the slave owners where paid back for the slaves that where executed. The southerners passed new laws because of this. I chose this date beause this is when the rebelion started. -
The compromise of 1850
There were a lot of problems with slave states and free states. The free states had more states then the slave states when California died. The slave states wanted to leave the union because they thought it wasn’t fare. Henry clay wanted the north and the south to make a compromise. Senator John C. Calhoun was dying, He wanted to make all the western states slave states. Calhoun and the president died during the making of the compromise. The compromise basically said that California was allowed -
The compromise of 1850 continued
to join as a free state, new mexico and utaw whould be taritorys, the slave traid whould be stoped, and the fugitive slave law was passed. Isaac T. Hopper, a Quaker, began a system for hiding and aiding runaway slaves in 1787. This is what started the Underground Railroad. March 20th is the first day of spring, and spring was the safest time to of the year to escape, therefore March 20,1787 will be the start date. The end date, December 6,1865 was when the 13th Amendment ending slavery was past. -
Bleeding Kansas
Bleeding Kansas was a series of raids by the free soldiers from the north and the south. The first raid was made by john brown in 1859. This sparked the “war” in Kansas. The north and south continued raiding until the states became Free states. I chose this date because this is when The Kansas Nebraska act was passed. -
Kansas Nabraska act
The Kansas Nebraska act was an act that said that the states Kansas and Nebraska could join as Free states even though Kansas and Nebraska are above the 30-30 line. This was passed even though the north didn’t like this because it had a small chance that the south could get the states. This lead to bleeding kansas. I chose this date because this is the date the kansas nabraska act was passed. -
Dred Scott case
The Dred Scott case was a trial in which Dred sued for his freedom. He felt that he could do this because he had lived in the north for 13 years before. He fought for the freedom of his family by suing his master’s wife, who owned him at the time. The case went to the supreme court who said he had no right to sue because he was just property, they also declared the Missouri compromise void. I chose this date because this is when the supreme court dilivered the magority vote. -
The election of 1860
The election of 1860 was a presidential election in which the republican candidate Abraham Lincoln won the election without one southern vote. This enraged the southerners because this basically meant that they had no say in the affairs of the country. Most of the south voted for john Breckenridge. Because of what the south thought was an unfair election, seven states spit off of the union to form their own country. This country was called the confederacy. -
Attack on Fort Sumter
Fort Sumter was a union fort that was surrounded by confederate gun batteries in Charleston harbor. The union was just sending supplies to the fort but the confederates wouldn’t let the supply ships to reach the fort. They attacked the fort ruthlessly until the fort surrendered. This sparked the Civil War.
