Lincoln and Scott debated over issues such as popular sovereignty, the Lecompton Constitution and the Dred Scott decision. Douglas won these debates, but Lincoln's position in these debates helped him beat Douglas in the presidential election of 1860.

The candidates of the election of 1860 were Abraham Lincoln, Stephan A. Douglas, John C. Breckenridge, and John Bell. Slavery was their main concern. Lincoln opposed adding new slave states.

Consequently, 11 southern stats seceded and 4 slave states, which were known as border states, stayed with the union. These disputes and divisions led to the 1st shots of the Civil War at Fort Sumter on April 12th, 1861.

By 1857, Brown returned to the East and began raising money to carry out his vision of a mass uprising of slaves. He secured the backing of six prominent abolitionists, known as the “Secret Six,” and assembled an invasion force. His “army” grew to include 22 men, including five black men and three of Brown’s sons. The group rented a Maryland farm near Harpers Ferry and prepared for the assault.

On the night of October 16, 1859, Brown and his band overran the arsenal. Some of his men rounded up a handful of hostages, including a few slaves. Word of the raid spread, and by morning Brown and his men were surrounded.

The discussion on the Missouri question has undoubtedly contributed to weaken in some degree the attachment of our southern and western people to the Union; but the agitators of that question have, in my opinion, not only completely failed; but have destroyed to a great extent their capacity for future mischief. Should Missouri be admitted at the next session, as I think she will without difficulty, the evil effects of the discussion must gradually subside." 

Analysis: The Missouri compromise had created some tension between the North and the South/West. But Caldwell believes once Missouri is admitted, this tension must lesson.]]> 2017-11-02 13:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/vishnumavilla123/mapxclkkqwkm/wish/202895368 Dred Scott Decision https://padlet.com/vishnumavilla123/mapxclkkqwkm/wish/202901525 The Supreme Court, in 1857, decided slave owners had the right to take slaves to free areas and still keep them enslaved.
