William Lloyd Garrison
William Lloyd Garrison, is in my eyes is a abolitionist because wrote a newspaper called “The Liberator” many people read it including some of the slaves, the ones that could read at least. It helped Nat Turner, and many other slaves get to freedom, and encouraged people to become anti-slavery people. Mr. Garrison also helped with the Anti-Slavery association. He was born on December 12, 1805 in Newburyport, MA, and died in New York, NY on May 24, 1879. He helped in many anti-slavery events, and -

and was involved with Frederick Douglass, the man who started writing “The North Star” another anti-slavery newspaper. Many abolitionists put advertisements in newspapers, or their stories. -
Missiouri Compromise
The reading the Missouri Compromise of 1820 is ABOUT if slavery should be allowed in the new state of Missouri slaves have already been brought into Missouri. Tallmadge suggested that no new slaves should be brought in but Congress denied what he said so they didn’t listen. Pinkney said Congress could not set conditions on new states joining because it was not fair to either side because if one side got a state it wasn’t fair to the other. In a result of all these things both sides gained a new -

state it wasn’t fair to the other. In a result of all these things both sides gained a new state. After the purchase of the Louisiana Territory evey-thing above the 36’ 30’ and below is slaved states. The states that were given were Missouri which was a slave state and Maine which was a free state. The North gained a state during this compromise, and so did the south. Slaves were still allowed and that made the North unhappy. In the long run the North gained nine future states. The South gained -

a state and also other future states.Even though there was a balance between free, and slave states the South doesn’t gain as much land in the country as the North did. The South gets mad because Maine is free. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 worked but not everyone was happy and a good thing that happened was not a single shot was fired. -

beaten. The whites did this because they were scared another rebellion was going to take place. -
Nat Turners Rebellion
The Nat Turner Rebellion happened when Nat Turner a slave, was upset with the treatment he was getting. Nat Turner threatened some slaves to join him in the mass killing of over 60 plantation owners, and they even killed the owners families. This all happened on August 22-23, 1831. This took place in South Ampton, Virginia. The outcome of this was one, the hanging of Nat Turner. He was tried, found guilty, and hung. In years following if you were a suspicious black man you were either killed or -
Compromise of 1850
This compromise was the compromise that made California a state. It was written by Henry Clay. It was a delivery of 5 separate bills passed by the United States in September of 1850. It defused a four year political battle with slave and free states. This all happened during the Mexican American war. Zachary Taylor became president after this, and he was known as a Mexican American war hero. -
Kansas Nebraska Act Pt. 1
The Kansas-Nebraska Act is when the two states were having popular sovereignty and Missouri had people come over, and vote because they were southern states, and they wanted more slave states so they sent people over to vote for the states to be slave states. The states ended up both being free states. Stephen Douglas was the senator of Illinois. He later ran for president in the election of 1860. This Act got rid of the 36’ 30’ line because if the act didn’t there would be an unbalanced amount -

amount of free:slave states, and that would have angered one side of the situation. -
Bleeding Kansas
The name of the time period of bloody battles in the dispute of Kansas being a free or slave state. The time period it was in was 1854 they used the term popular sovereignty, which means the residents would determine if it were a free or slave state. The people chose for the area to be a free state. Anti-Slavery people, and Pro-Slavery flooded into Kansas, and a mini civil war broke out between the two. Later John Brown led people into the state of Kansas. Then in Harper’s Ferry John Brown led -

led people into the state of Kansas. Then in Harper’s Ferry John Brown led attacks on the military arsenal in Virginia. Robert E. Lee’s men surrounded him, and took him to Richmond to be hung in the public. -
Dred Scott Case
The case was about a black man who was a slave, but then lived in two slave states with his slave owner. He believed that since he did that he was a free man. If it were me I would think I was a free man to. But they didn’t let him be a free man. So then he said to himself “I will just sue for my freedom”. And if you didn’t know black people were not allowed to sue, and they definitely weren’t allowed to show up in a courtroom. So Mr. Scott eventually sued, and then he appeared in a courtroom. -
Dred Soctt Case Pt. 2
The Missouri Compromise was ruled unconstitutional, and they got rid of it. Then they declared that no African American could be considered as a citizen. Then in the end of it all a guy bought him, and set him free. Dred Scott then died nine months later after all of this. -
The Raid on Harper's Ferry
and that’s where it all went down hill. John Brown and his followers were surrounded by military general Robert E. Lee, and soldiers. A few of John Brown’s followers were killed, others were captured, and taken to Virginia to be hung. They tried Brown for treason, and indeed he was guilty for it because he attacked his hometown arsenal, so he could lead attacks down in the south and he could arm the slaves that followed him. -
Raid on Harpers Ferry
The Raid on Harper’s Ferry was led by a man named John Brown. John Brown was a failure in the business, and failed more than 10 times in 6 days. He himself led 5 blacks and 13 white men into Harper’s Ferry to attack the military arsenal. Before all this even happened John Brown led an attack at Pottawatomie Creek. Him and a few of his son’s went, and slaughtered 5 men who lived on the plantations in front of their families. At Harper’s Ferry they captured George Washington’s great nephew, and -
Election of 1860
The Presidential Election of 1860 was between four men, and they all had semi-different views on slavery. Abraham was one of the men that ran for president. He had moderate views on slavery. He wasn’t the Republicans first pick, because they were going to have a man named William Seward run, but he owned slaves, and they needed to get as many states as they could especially Pennsylvania because they had the most electoral votes. John Bell also had moderate views. He ran with the -
Election OF 1860
Constitutional Union, and that was a third party program. Stephen Douglas ran for president to but he was for slavery so he didn’t get any of the Northern votes that he needed. Brickinridge was the closest runner to Abraham Lincoln collecting the Southern Electoral votes, all but four. As you can see there were more states in the North than there were in the south. Abraham Lincoln was the only president to ever win without a single southern state vote. -
Underground Railroad
The Underground Railroad was a series of paths leading from the south to Canada. People who helped slaves get from the South to the North were called abolitionists. Slaves were black people who were bought, and sold as property. Many slaves would run away, and then help others on their journies. The Underground Railroad really had a specific date it was between March 21, 1787 to December 6, 1865. The Underground Railroad never really had and end either. This occurred because many slaves didn’t -
