I think this had a social effect because it helped people realize that they could resist the government and have a voice. ]]> 2020-11-22 22:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950504748 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950511151 The Louisiana Purchase was a deal made between the US and France where the US bought most of its midwestern territory from France for $15 million.  I think this had both a social and political effect because it created more boundary's and tension.  The government had to please both the north and south when dividing territory and people fought over slavery in these new states as well.   ]]> 2020-11-22 22:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950511151 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950517130 The Missouri Compromise was a deal between the north and south that allowed Missouri to be a slave state and Maine to be a free state while outlawing slavery north of the 36º 30' parallel.  I think this was a major political cause because it created extra tension and the boundary at the 36º 30' parallel caused lots of problems in the future.

Nullification Crisis was a period of time when South Carolina confronted the federal government about the tariff that was passed in 1828. The south believed the tariff was unfair because of the tax on imported goods. I think this was a political cause because the south believed that they were being treated unfairly. ]]> 2020-11-22 22:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950522503 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950531676 The Texas Annexation was when the Republic of Texas agreed to enter the United States as the 28th state. I think this had a political effect because it shifted the balance of slave and free states.]]> 2020-11-22 23:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950531676 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950535600 the Mexican- American war was a conflict between Mexico and America over the southern boundary of Texas and resulted in the US gaining more territory. I think this is a political effect because the US gained even more western territory that had to be divided between free and slave. ]]> 2020-11-22 23:07:35 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950535600 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950541141 The Compromise of 1850 was a series of 5 laws regarding slavery and territorial expansion. I think this had a political and social effect because there were people on both sides that disagreed with some of the laws included in the compromise.]]> 2020-11-22 23:13:16 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950541141 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950543842 The Fugitive Slave Act was one of the laws included in the Compromise of 1850 and required northern citizens to report and help return runaway slaves back to the south. I think this had a social effect because it forced people who hated the idea of slavery to return slaves back to their owners by law and that made people angry.]]> 2020-11-22 23:16:07 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950543842 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950547748 Uncle Tom's Cabin was a book written in 1852 by Harriet Beecher Stowe and highlighted the cruelty of slavery and allowed people outside the south to understand exactly what was happening. I think this had a social effect because it really allowed the people up north to realize just how terrible slavery was and it convinced people to want to end it. ]]> 2020-11-22 23:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950547748 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950556130 The Kansas-Nebraska Act decided the boundaries of Kansas and Nebraska and allowed the people living in those states to decide for themselves whether they wanted their state to be slave or free. I think this caused a social effect because people in those states began to fight among themselves.]]> 2020-11-22 23:27:39 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950556130 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950571959 This was a violent attack on Charles Sumner by Preston Brooks after a speech that Sumner gave about slavery. I think that this was a social effect because it made the north angry and raised tension between the north and south. ]]> 2020-11-22 23:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950571959 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950576829 Dred Scott vs. Stanford was a case brought to the supreme court because a slave named Dred Scott believed that because he and his owner moved above the border that divided the north and south, he should be freed because he lived in a state where slavery was illegal. The court declared that he would still be considered a slave. This was a huge social and political effect on the war because it enraged the north caused major unrest in the federal government.]]> 2020-11-22 23:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950576829 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950583992 John Brown’s Raid was an armed attack on Harpers Ferry, Virginia, that was led by John Brown who planned to steal weapons from a federal arsenal and arm the enslaved people in Virginia. They ended up being stopped by the US marines led by General Robert. E. Lee and Brown was hanged. I think this was a social effect because it enraged the south. ]]> 2020-11-22 23:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950583992 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950589145 The election of 1860 ended with the election of Abraham Lincoln and was a huge factor in the civil war. This was a political and social effect because many people in the south believed that he would take slavery away from them and allow the north to have their way. ]]> 2020-11-22 23:59:08 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950589145 afly6062 https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950592963 I think that slavery was the cause to the largest divide in US history.  I think the problem started when the north industrialized and had no more need for slaves.  The south on the other hand stayed agricultural and relied on free slave labor.  The north and south disagreed about the need for slavery and this cause the country to split in half with the Missouri Compromise creating a border between slave and free states.  When the US gained more territory representatives from both sides argued on whether the new states would support or outlaw slavery and that caused a buildup of tension in the government.  Towards the years leading up to the civil war, people started getting more and more violent and small conflicts began popping up in all different parts of the US.  I think that the election of Lincoln was the final spark that ignited the south into declaring a civil war.]]> 2020-11-23 00:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/afly6062/vfofjj06aau8svlv/wish/950592963
