The compromise admitted California to the United States as a "free" (no slavery) state but allowed some newly acquired territories to decide on slavery for themselves. Part of the Compromise included the Fugitive Slave Act, which proved highly unpopular in the North. Senator Henry Clay was a force behind the passage of the compromise."]]> 2019-12-06 14:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sbyrd6/y73v8zrgqa4l/wish/420735428 sbyrd6 https://padlet.com/sbyrd6/y73v8zrgqa4l/wish/420736449 A moderate, who introduced the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 & popularized the idea of popular sovereignty.]]> 2019-12-06 14:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sbyrd6/y73v8zrgqa4l/wish/420736449 sbyrd6 https://padlet.com/sbyrd6/y73v8zrgqa4l/wish/420737385 A law that made it a crime to help runaway slaves; allowed for the arrest of escaped slaves in areas where slavery was illegal & required their return to slaveholders; part of the Compromise of 1850.]]> 2019-12-06 14:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/sbyrd6/y73v8zrgqa4l/wish/420737385 sbyrd6 https://padlet.com/sbyrd6/y73v8zrgqa4l/wish/420738564 A network of abolitionists that secretly helped slaves escape to freedom by setting up hiding places and routes to the North.
