https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn This padlet will be about the events leading up to the Civil War. This was one of the darkest times in U.S.A history. The reason for this war was because of the slaves in the south and the disagreement from the north. en-us 2018-04-18 00:00:37 UTC 2018-04-19 04:04:40 UTC hello@padlet.com sanchezk0896 https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252807546 This was a new law that created two more slave territories.

The downside to this was slavery was still in place so the northerners did not like this, so they continued to attack slavery. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzevWBxB4pui3RURKcdOhOJdBCaXCYxz/view]]> 2018-04-18 00:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252808305 sanchezk0896 https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252816940 Fugitive slaves were slaves that ran away to freedom in the North, they were helped by nice Northerners mostly. The Southerners did not like this however and they wanted congress to instate a Fugitive Slave Act. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzevWBxB4pui3RURKcdOhOJdBCaXCYxz/view]]> 2018-04-18 01:06:29 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252816940 sanchezk0896 https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252818725 The Gag Rule lasted for about 10 years until president Polk sent a bill for funds from the Mexican American war to Mexico, this Bill was called the Wilmot Proviso. In this bill it stated no slavery in the states that the U.S won from Mexico, the Southerners opposed this, the bill made it to the House but not passed the Senate. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzevWBxB4pui3RURKcdOhOJdBCaXCYxz/view]]> 2018-04-18 01:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252818725 sanchezk0896 https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252823563 At this point Congress had no idea what to do about slavery in California, they were making laws against it, then for it and both sides got mad. Then the Southerners made a compromise, but congress didn't allow it, they ended that year deadlocked about slavery. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzevWBxB4pui3RURKcdOhOJdBCaXCYxz/view]]> 2018-04-18 01:49:39 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252823563 sanchezk0896 https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252825680  The Compromise of 1850 was a five separate bills passed by the United States Congress in September 1850.

Southerners used this law however, but they were mad when  Northerners did not enforce this law and in the end only 299 slaves were captured. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzevWBxB4pui3RURKcdOhOJdBCaXCYxz/view]]> 2018-04-18 02:36:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252831155 sanchezk0896 https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252833477 This act added in Nebraska and Kansas into the union without any rules about slavery, so it was up to the people to decide if it was or wasn't a slave state. The Northerners were so scared that they could have a slave state in the North they had to be reassured by Douglas that everything would be okay. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzevWBxB4pui3RURKcdOhOJdBCaXCYxz/view]]> 2018-04-18 02:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252833477 sanchezk0896 https://padlet.com/sanchezk0896/4n3ftjzje2fn/wish/252836160 After the Nebraska-Kansas Act of 1854 was passed many people started moving to Kansas, most were farmers but some were slave supporters or haters.
