• The Kansas – Nebraska Act created two new territories and abolished the Missouri compromise by leaving the question of permitting slavery up to the new territories.

• Originally, the bill did not mention slavery at all, Southerners would only supportthe bill if Douglas made changes to the bill to allow the states self-determination.

• Northerners were haunted by a vision of slavery marching across the plains.

21.6: The Dred Scott Decision

• In 1857, the slavery controversy shifted from Congress to the Supreme Court… The Dred Scott case• Years earlier, Scott had traveled with his

owner to Wisconsin, where slavery was banned by the Missouri Compromise.• When he returned to Missouri, Scott went to

court to win his freedom

21.6: The Dred Scott Decision

• By a vote of seven to two, the Court had decided that Scott could not sue for his freedom in a federal court because he was not a citizen.• Also the Court had rejected Scott's

argument that his stay in Wisconsin had made him a free man. The reason was simple. The Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional

21.7: From Compromise to Crisis

• During the controversy over the Kansas-Nebraska Act, antislavery activists from the Free-Soilers and the once-popular Whig Party formed a new political organization, the Republican Party.• In 1858, Republicans in Illinois nominated

Abraham Lincoln to run for the Senate.• Lincoln's opponent in the Senate race was

Senator Stephen Douglas


• During the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Douglas argued that the Dred Scott decision had put the slavery issue to rest, but Lincoln disagreed. In his eyes, slavery was a moral, not a legal, issue• Lincoln lost the election. However,

the debates were widely reported, and they helped make him a national figure.This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-

21.8: The Election of 1860 and Secession

• The 1860 presidential race showed just how divided the nation had become.• With his opposition divided three ways, Lincoln

sailed to victory, but it was an odd victory. Lincoln won the presidential election with just 40 percent of the votes, all of them cast in the North.• In the weeks following the election, talk of

secession filled the air.


• Meanwhile, in Charleston, South Carolina, delegates attending a state convention voted that same day—December 20, 1860—to leave the Union.• Six more states soon followed South Carolina's

lead, and in February 1861, those states joined together as the Confederate States of America.• On March 4, 1861, Lincoln became president of

the not-so-united United States. He then appealed to the rebellious states to return in peace.


• The following month on April 12, 1861, Confederates in Charleston, South Carolina, forced the issue when they opened fire on Fort Sumter, a federal fort in Charleston Harbor.• The issues that had divided the nation for so many

years would now be decided by a civil war.
