The power balance was equal amounts of slave states to free states. The decision was to make Missouri a slave state.]]> 2020-05-12 17:24:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568210043 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568222559 Basically, the Northerners began to protest more after the Missouri Compromise. With the Second Great Awakening, abolitionists were determined to end slavery, but the government put the "gag rule," where the talk of abolition was ended.]]> 2020-05-12 17:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568222559 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568236043 The fugitive slaves were slaves that escaped their owners. These slaves held rebellions or ran away to safety in other states. Most Southerners wanted their slaves back with a law. ]]> 2020-05-12 17:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568236043 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568246779 The compromise at this time was created by Henry Clay to try to please everyone. It stated for California to be a free state, New Mexico and Utah would decide their side, slave markets in Washington D.C. would be banned, and a law to retrieve slaves would be placed. However, instead of pleasing everyone, almost everyone was displeased. The Fugitive Slave Act was basically useless, and the market banning made Southerners more angry.]]> 2020-05-12 17:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568246779 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568253406 The act placed was meant for slave owners to get their slaves back, but it failed. Southerners wanted the act to be better because only a handful of slaves were returned. Meanwhile, Northerners didn't want to support the act. The Act just made tensions grow.]]> 2020-05-12 17:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568253406 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568524693 The Act allowed Nebraska and Kansas to decide whether they were free states or if they were slave states. It was an attempt to calm the Missouri Compromise, which said slavery above a 
certain Longitude and Latitude was abolished.]]> 2020-05-12 19:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568524693 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568532880 The Nebraska-Kansas Act caused Kansas to be fought between slavery and free. People moved there to help one side or the other. However, this caused the state to be greatly divided, and people turned to violence.]]> 2020-05-12 19:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568532880 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568537571 Overtime, Congress became more and more divided because of the Compromises and Acts(listed above.) A specific event is when Charles Summer was in the Senate, sending hateful and insulting words to pro-slavery representatives. The nephew of Andrew Butler later beats Summer up with a cane, proving how broken up the United States were.]]> 2020-05-12 19:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568537571 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568543828 The Dred-Scott Decision was one made by the Supreme Court over the suing Dred Scott placed on his owner. The Court supported their ruling, which was Dred Scott's sue was invalid, by saying that Dred-Scott was property, so he had no rights(meaning he can't sue). The Court's other argument is that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional, so Wisconsin can't be considered a free state. ]]> 2020-05-12 19:50:22 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568543828 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568615826 The debate between Lincoln and Douglas for the senate seat of Illinois was pretty heated. Although Douglas won the debate by the ballot, Lincoln's popularity grew among the North, where anti-slavery continued to grow.

The rest of the votes were split among two candidates in the South. There was also, for some reason, an extra voting slot for a party, though that was mainly ignored. This brought the South to fear the North, mainly because now they had the power to end slavery.]]> 2020-05-12 20:32:02 UTC https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568619451 stephenzhu05 https://padlet.com/stephenzhu05/grje4qu5om0q4nbg/wish/568623695 Because of the unbalanced of power, the South began to break from the Union. Abraham Lincoln hopes for them to reconnect, but he knows it won't happen without a fight.
