Answer 20

Missouri Compromise - In an effort to preserve the balance of power in Congress between slave and free states, the Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820 admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. Impact on African Americas: It had a detrimental impact on the lives of African-Americans. Unfortunately it expanded the abominable practice of slavery westward. Before the compromise, it sparked the United States’ first extended, thorough, and protracted debate over the expansion of slavery as well as the merits of it. James Tallmadge, a congressman representing New York proposed that the new state ban slavery as well as all slaves in the region become free by the age of twenty-five. This radical amendment passed narrowly in the House of Representatives. One reason this discussion was so fiery, was that the amendment felt like a mandate to Southerners who were worried about their economy and labor force. Demographically they would have been outnumbered. The compromise occurred in 1820, when the new state of Maine was selected to be a free state while Missouri was allowed to be a slave state. That maintained the balance between the North and South in Congress. The reason that the compromise was so irreparably damaging, was that apart from expanding the practice westward, it effectively shored up slavery in the South. It stopped the gradual emancipation at Missouri’s southern border, effectively creating what came to be known as the Mason-Dixon Line.

Answer 21

Compromise of 1850 - Senator Henry Clay introduced a series of resolutions on January 29, 1850, in an attempt to seek a compromise and avert a crisis between North and South. As part of the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act was amended and the slave trade in Washington, D.C., was abolished. Impact on African Americans: As part of the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act was amended and the slave trade in Washington, D.C., was abolished. Furthermore, California entered the Union as a free state and a territorial government was created in Utah.

Answer 22

Kansas-Nebraska Act - The Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and was drafted by Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and President Franklin Pierce. Impact on African Americans:The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed each territory to decide the issue of slavery on the basis of popular sovereignty. Kansas with slavery would violate the Missouri Compromise, which had kept the Union from falling apart for the last thirty-four years. The long-standing compromise would have to be repealed.

Answer 23

Dred Scott v. Sandford - The Supreme Court decision Dred Scott v. Sandford was issued on March 6, 1857. Delivered by Chief Justice Roger Taney, this opinion declared that slaves were not citizens of the United States and could not sue in Federal courts. Impact on African Americans: This case impacted the citizenship of all African Americans throughout the United States. In March 1857, the United States Supreme Court declared that all blacks, slaves as well as free blacks, were not, and could never become, citizens of the United States.

Answer 24

Fugitive Slave Act - The fugitive slave laws were laws passed by the United States Congress in 1793 and 1850 to provide for the return of slaves who escaped from one state into another state or territory. Impact on African Americans: This new law forcibly compelled citizens to assist in the capture of runaway slaves.

Answer 25

Nat Turner's Rebellion - Nat Turner's Rebellion was a slave rebellion that took place in Southampton County, Virginia, during August 1831. Led by Nat Turner, rebel slaves killed from 55 to 65 people, the largest and deadliest slave uprising in U.S. history. Impact on African Americans: In Nat Turner's rebellion, Turner and a group of followers, most of whom were slaves, rebelled against whites in their area. This was the deadliest slave rebellion in the history of the United States. Nat Turner's rebellion was very much the exception in terms of African-American resistance to slavery.

Answer 26

Bleeding Kansas - Bleeding Kansas, Bloody Kansas or the Border War was a series of violent political confrontations in the United States between 1854 and 1861 involving anti-slavery "Free-Staters" and pro-slavery "Border Ruffian", or "southern" elements in Kansas. Impact on African Americans: The events in the Kansas territory were a microcosm of the violent forces shaping the United States in the decade of the 1850s, forces that would ultimately lead to a disintegration of the Union itself. This lesson details what has come to be known as Bleeding Kansas and its impact on the issue of slavery.

Answer 27

Harpers Ferry - John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry (also known as John Brown's raid or The raid on Harper's Ferry) was an effort by armed abolitionist John Brown to initiate an armed slave revolt in 1859 by taking over a United States Chickennal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Impact on African Americans: Abolitionist John Brown leads a small group on a raid against a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia (now West Virginia), in an attempt to start an armed slave revolt and destroy the institution of slavery.
