4 Engage ~Have students preview the lesson objectives and the list of key terms (p.490). Use the Editable Presentation found on the digital course to present the main ideas of the lesson (p. 490). Complete the Start Up Activity on p 490. Tell students that in Harriet Beecher Stowe s Uncle Tom s Cabin, one character describes being forced to return to slavery after having been free. He tells of what he and his family have suffered because of the treatment of enslaved people that is legal under this country s laws. Explore Explain Elaborate Evaluate Tell students that in this lesson they will be learning how slavery and sectionalism ignited conflict that became the Civil War. ~Divide the class into groups. Each group is to read a section and be prepared to discuss and share findings with the class. Students are to read assigned sections and use the Note Taking Study Guide to help them take notes and understand the text as they read. Henry Clay s Missouri Compromise (p. 491) Western Expansion Heightens Tension Over Slavery (p ) The Free-Soil Party Opposes Slavery in the West (p ) California Reignites the Slavery Debate (p ) Congress Reaches a Compromise (p ) A Book Sways the North Against Slavery (p. 498) Tell students that in this lesson they will be learning how slavery and sectionalism ignited conflict that became the Civil War. Henry Clay s Missouri Compromise (p. 491) Before 1819, the equal number of slave and free states helped balance the sectional divide. That year, however, Congress considered Missouri s application to join the Union as a slave state. Immediately, a crisis erupted. Missouri s admission would give the South a majority in the Senate. Determined not to lose power, northerners opposed letting Missouri entering as a slave state. Western Expansion Heightens Tension Over Slavery (p ) The Missouri Compromise applied only to the Louisiana Purchase. In 1849, the Mexican War added vast western lands to the United States. Once again, the question of slavery in the territories arose. The Free-Soil Party Opposes Slavery in the West (p ) The debate over slavery led to the birth of a new political party. By 1848, many northern Democrats and Whigs opposed the spread of slavery. However, the leaders of both parties refused to take a stand. They did not want to lose any southern votes. Some also feared that the slavery issue would split the nation. California Reignites the Slavery Debate (p ) For a time after the Missouri Compromise, both slave and free states entered the Union peacefully. However, when California requested admission to the Union as a free state in 1850, the balance of power in the Senate was once again threatened. Congress Reaches a Compromise (p ) In 1850, as the debate raged, Calhoun died. His last words reportedly were The South! The poor South! God knows what will become of her now! President Taylor also died in The new President was Millard Fillmore. Unlike Taylor, he supported Clay s compromise plan. A Book Sways the North Against Slavery (p. 498) An event in 1852 added to the growing antislavery mood of the North. Harriet Beecher Stowe, a New England woman, published a novel called Uncle Tom s Cabin. Stowe wrote the novel to show the evils of slavery and the injustice of the Fugitive Slave Laws. ~Guided Reading and Discussion Questions See Small Group Purposeful Talk Question Stems from the previous page for this portion of the lesson. ~Analyzing Maps and Charts & Digital Activity See Online Resources from the previous page for this portion of the lesson. ~Assign the Digital Lesson Quiz for this lesson (p. 498).

Vermont declared free any enslaved person who entered the state, an action in direct conflict with the Fugitive Slave Act. How was Vermont s declaration similar to that of South Carolina, which in 1832 declared a tariff passed by Congress, the so-called Tariff of Abominations, illegal?

Complete the Start Up Activity on p 499. Tell students that in the mid-1800s, tensions between the North and South grew. Discuss sectionalism. Explore Explain Elaborate Evaluate Tell students that in this lesson they will be learning how sectionalism and debates over slavery led to violence and political rifts. ~Divide the class into groups. Each group is to read a section and be prepared to discuss and share findings with the class. Students are to read assigned sections and use the Note Taking Study Guide to help them take notes and understand the text as they read. The Question of Slavery in Kansas and Nebraska (p ) Violent Clashes Over Slavery in Kansas (p ) Violence Over Slavery Breaks Out in the Senate (p. 502) The Impact of the Dred Scott Case (p ) The Republican Party Challenges Other Parties (p ) Abraham Lincoln Leads the Republican Party (p ) John Brown s Antislavery Campaign (p ) Tell students that in this lesson they will be learning how sectionalism and debates over slavery led to violence and political rifts. The Question of Slavery in Kansas and Nebraska (p ) In January 1854, Senator Stephen Douglas introduced a bill to set up a government for the lands covering the northwestern part of the Louisiana Purchase. This territory stretched from present-day Oklahoma north to present-day Canada, and from Missouri west to the Rockies. Violent Clashes Over Slavery in Kansas (p ) Kansas now became a testing ground for popular sovereignty. Stephen Douglas hoped that settlers would decide the slavery issue peacefully on election day. Instead, proslavery and antislavery forces sent settlers to Kansas to fight for control of the territory. Violence Over Slavery Breaks Out in the Senate (p. 502) Even before John Brown s attack, the battle over Kansas had spilled into the Senate. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts was the leading abolitionist senator. In one speech, the sharp-tongued Sumner denounced the proslavery legislature of Kansas. He viciously criticized his southern foes, singling out Andrew Butler, an elderly senator from South Carolina. The Impact of the Dred Scott Case (p ) With Congress in an uproar, many Americans looked to the Supreme Court to settle the slavery issue and restore peace. In 1857, the Court ruled on a case that involved an enslaved man named Dred Scott. Instead of bringing harmony, however, the Court s decision further divided the North and the South. The Republican Party Challenges Other Parties (p ) By the mid-1850s, people who opposed slavery in the territories sought a new political voice. Nether Whigs nor Democrats, they argued, would take a strong stand against slavery. We have submitted to slavery long enough, an Ohio Democrat declared. Abraham Lincoln Leads the Republican Party (p ) The next test for the Republican party came in 1858 in Illinois. Abraham Lincoln, a Republican, challenged Democrat Stephen Douglas for his seat in the Senate. Because most Americans expected Douglas to run for President in 1860, the race captured the attention of the whole nation. John Brown s Antislavery Campaign (p ) In the meantime, more bloodshed inflamed divisions between the North and the South. In 1859, the radical abolitionist John Brown carried his antislavery campaign from Kansas to the East. He led a group of followers, including five African Americans, to the town of Harpers Ferry, Virginia. ~Guided Reading and Discussion Questions See Small Group Purposeful Talk Question Stems from the previous page for this portion of the lesson. ~Analyzing Maps and Charts & Digital Activity See Online Resources from the previous page for this portion of the lesson. ~Assign the Digital Lesson Quiz for this lesson (p. 509).
