This resulted in a compromise made in 1820, for Maine to be admitted as free, and Missouri as a slave state.

The result was that Congress declared them unable to do so, named the gag rule, which infuriated abolitionists. Abolitionists ignored this though, and fought back stronger than ever.

Normally the escapes were assisted by people against slavery in the North. This outraged plantation owners, leading to their request of a fugitive slave law.

An ammendement was added that denied slavery that was not volnteered. This created a lot of backlash in the South, for it was passed by the House, but declined by the Senate.

Eventually, California requested to be added to the Union as a free state. This pleased Northerners and upset Southerners, since it would show unequal representation among the states. The south threatened to withdraw themselves, since there was no decision made.

One agreement was to allow New Mexico and Utah owned territories to decide their own slavery policies. Also, slave trade was finally ended in D.C. and there were harsher laws put into place for escaping slaves. Webster gave Clay help to pass this compromise, and it ended up lasting nine months until it was accepted.

People in the South believed that this did not guarentee them to gain their "property" back and in the North it was thought that it was no fair to inprison or punish someone who either helped slaves escape or didn't help the slave catchers.   The slaves responded to them having barely any legal rights by either running to Canada or they stood up for their rights. Even though the act was put into place, it was hardly successful since so many people were working against it.

Northerners were angered by the act because it got rid of a compromise they supported.

Because of the different groups of people settling in Kansas, it became to different slavery views opposing each other. The differing views soon resulted in violence, which led to the death of five men.

Sumner eventually spoke his opinions and his speech became very well known and many copies were made of his words. Southerners were very upset by his honest words and he was beaten by the senators nephew. This made clear to everyone the divide of opinions in the country.

The court ruling did not end in Scott's favor, for they declared that African Americans didn't have the rights to sue within a federal court and they made slavery legal everywhere. They also claimed that African Americans would never be allowed to become U.S. citizens.

The main discussion of their debates was slavery, which Douglas thought the country could be partly slave and partly free, but Lincoln disagreed. Lincoln ended up loosing the election, but the debates rose a lot of attention toward him.

He launched a raid to seize the federal arsenal in Virginia. The result ended up badly for him though, because all of his men were captured and/or killed. His punishment was death for the extreme raid he executed.

This election sent across the message that southerners were now the minority. This made the South fear that Congress would eventually completely get rid of slavery, which is what happened.

The committee ended up being pointless because Lincoln pronounced that there shall be no compromises made. In result, seven states came together and formed the Confederate States of America.
