1 Chapter 15 Toward the Civil War ( ) Section 1 Slavery and the West
2 n Did the compromises that Congress made effectively address slavery and sectionalism?
3 Missouri Missouri applied for statehood Slavery was legal in Missouri This sparked an angry debate in Congress There were 22 states in the Union 11 slave states/ 11 free states Each state got two votes (Senate) Adding another state would tip the balance between slave states and free states
4 North and South The North and South had different economies and were competing for new land in the West At the same time, many Northerners wanted to restrict or ban slavery Southerners opposed these antislavery efforts (even those that disliked slavery) Southerners resented the interference by outsiders in Southerners affairs This grew into sectionalism between the North and South
5 What to do with Missouri Senate suggested allowing Missouri join as a slave state and Maine join as a free state The Senate wanted to settle the issue of slavery in the territories for good Senate proposed banning slavery in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of 36 30' N latitude Speaker of the House Henry Clay guided the bill through the House of Representatives (passed by a close vote) Maine was the 23 rd state and Missouri was 24 th The Missouri Compromise preserved the balance between slave and free states This was a temporary solution in the debate over slavery

7 Which of the following was a proposal to ban slavery in any lands acquired from Mexico? A. The Compromise of 1850 B. The Wilmot Proviso C. The Missouri Compromise D. The Freeport Doctrine A. A B. B C. C D. D
8 Post Mexican American War There were three position on the issue of slavery in the new territories acquired from Mexico. Wilmot Proviso 1846 No slavery in new lands, congress as the right to decide this. Calhoun Resolution 1847 Slavery must be allowed the constitution allows it. Popular Sovereignty 1848 Let settlers in the new territories decide on slavery.
9 Southerners Response Southerners protested the Wilmot Proviso Southerners felt this endangered slavery everywhere They wanted New Mexico and California open to slavery John C. Calhoun (SC) countered with another proposal It said that neither Congress nor any territory had the authority to ban slavery from a territory or regulate it Neither proposal passed, but caused bitter debate By the next election, the US gained New Mexico and California, but took no action on slavery
10 Election of The Whigs selected Zachary Taylor as their candidate Taylor was a Southerner and a hero of the Mexican War The Democrats chose Senator Lewis Cass of Michigan Both candidates ignored the issue of slavery The failure to take a stand angered voters
11 Election of 1848 Continued Many opponents of slavery left their parties and formed the Free-Soil Party Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor, and Free Men The Free-Soil Party chose former president Van Buren as their candidate Taylor won, but the Free- Soil Party gained several seats in Congress
12 California applied for statehood in 1849 (After the Gold Rush) Meanwhile, antislavery forces wanted to ban slavery in Washington, D.C. Southerners also wanted a national law that required states to return fugitive enslaved people The key issue was the balance of power in the Senate (30 states 15/15) Southerners talked about seceding from the Union Issues in the US
13 Compromising Senator Henry Clay proposed that California enter as a free state The rest of the new territories would have no limits on slavery The slave trade (Not slavery itself) would be banned in Washington D.C. Clay also pushed for a stronger fugitive slave law Senator John C. Calhoun opposed the plan Calhoun felt that the Union could be saved only by protecting slavery Senator Webster supported the plan Webster said that slavery had little chance in the new territories because the land was not suited for plantations
14 The Compromise of 1850 President Taylor was an opponent of Clay s plan But Taylor died unexpectedly and Millard Fillmore took over as president Fillmore favored the compromise To end the crisis, Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas divided Clay s plan into 4 parts Each part would be voted on separately Fillmore had several Whigs abstain on parts they opposed The 5 parts passed and became known as the Compromise of 1850
15 The Parts of the Compromise of California would be admitted as a free state. 2. The new Mexico territory would have no restrictions on slavery. 3. The new Mexico- Texas border dispute would be settled in favor of new Mexico. 4. The slave trade but not slavery it self would be abolished in the district of Colombia. 5. Stronger fugitive state law.

32 The Kansas-Nebraska Act President Franklin Pierce intended to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act Illinois senator Stephan A. Douglas introduced a bill in Congress Douglas proposed organizing the region west of Missouri and Iowa as the territories of Kansas and Nebraska Because of their location, they both seemed likely to be Free states Both were north of 36 30' north (Missouri Compromise) Douglas knew the South would object because it would give the free states more votes in the Senate Douglas called for eliminating the Missouri Compromise and for popular sovereignty (allow the people to decide)
