This sparked a National debate, as this would contribute to the questionable growth of slavery, and grant slavery the majority in congress. The Missouri compromise was proposed as an unbiased solution. The compromise formed Missouri as a slave state, and balanced the separation by establishing Maine, which had separated from Massachusetts, a free state. Additionally, It constructed a border on the 36-30 parallel, allowing slavery in the South, and prohibiting it in the North.]]> 2018-02-23 19:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/234878472 s26247528 https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235084208 In August of 1831, a slave named Nathaniel "Nat" Turner assembled  an uprising that spread throughout plantations in South Virginia. His rebellion consisted of about 70 people, who collectively  killed 60 whites, was quelled by militant infantry after almost 2 days of havoc. The result of the rebellion was brutal, leading to the trial and execution of Turner and 54 fellow slaves. Action was taken as response lawmakers restricted both free and enslaved blacks had more privileges taken, limiting the African community's ability to assemble and barring many educational freedoms.
Nathaniel's rebellion has since been titled "The only effective, sustained slave rebellion in U.S. history."]]> 2018-02-25 13:09:18 UTC https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235084208 s26247528 https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235087617 At the culmination of the Mexican-American war, a piece of legislation called the Wilmot Proviso, proposed by David Wilmot, stated that slavery would be restricted in the territory acquired as a result of the war. He fought two years to trying to get the bill passed, attaching it to other bills, introducing it into congress, and attempting to attach it to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.

The North thought it was eye-opening to see such things, while the South declared it slanderous. The book became the 2nd bestselling novel in the 19th century, which only furthered the gap between the North and South. ]]> 2018-02-25 14:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235095505 s26247528 https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235101975 The Kansas Nebraska act of 1854  scarcely passed as Congressmen turned homicidal, uttering death threats throughout the House chambers. The result of this display caused parts of the Missouri compromise to be overturned, allowing the populous to vote on slavery's relevance . Both those for and against slavery all flocked to Kansas, hoping to use their number to shift the vote. The opposing sides clashed for five years with outbreaks of bloodshed and savagery claiming 56 lives. Voters eventually vouched for actions against slavery, but the experience and process was a black eye to the nation, left by a boxing-match with politics.]]> 2018-02-25 15:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235101975 s26247528 https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235104865 A Virginia slave, Dred Scott, attempted to sue for his freedom in 1857.

He planned to provide armaments to Southern slaves to start a rebellion and ensure their freedom. However, his execution was lacking as he was surrounded and captured by Robert E. Lee's forces after successfully collecting the objective, and then literally executed. He became a martyr of the abolitionist movement. The actions of Brown caused Southern militants to be more wary of future raids.]]> 2018-02-25 16:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235107790 s26247528 https://padlet.com/s28102804/AFabulousTimeline/wish/235115409 Lincoln won the 1860 election by a large amount, despite not being on the ballots for many southern states.
