However, nearby towns retaliated and most of his men were killed or imprisoned. John Brown himself was tried and executed December 2 of the same year. This increased tensions between the North and the South, making the Civil War seem inevitable. One of the leading causes of "Bleeding Kansas".

This angered the South, as technically he wasn’t the “people’s choice”, causing them, among other things, to secede from the Union.

By the time it reached the Supreme Court, slavery had become incredibly significant politically, and the court ruled against the escaped slave. It was ruled that enslaved people were not citizens of the United States and could not expect protection from the government, and Congress could not ban slavery from a federal territory.

However, in the future, states created above Missouri’s southern border (36*30’) were to be free (although this was nullified later on).

However, southern states were still angry at the Missouri Compromise, so they convinced the bill creator (Stephen Douglas) to revise the bill and nullify the Missouri Compromise line. Stephen did, in the process creating Popular Sovereignty. The bill was accepted and Kansas became a state.

About 36 hours after the revolt began, it ended as the group met real armed resistance. 19 black slaves were executed, although several more were murdered by white masters in the aftermath. It increased tensions between white slave owners and black slaves.

Anyone who aided escaped slaves was subject to arrest and imprisonment as well as a hefty fine. This angered the North, whose citizens had been aiding escaped slaves for years, further increasing tensions.
