Compromise of 1820

UnderGround Railroad

Popular Sovereignty
In 1850 meant that residents got to choose on slavery in their boarders. Douglass believed that it was crucial to solve Slavery and was the core to the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
I think this was Good because he wanted to solve Slavery and really tried to end this corrupt thing people where doing. -
Uncle Tom's Cabin(Book)
Harriet Beecher Stowe used the book to share ideas about the injustices of slavery.

Although people where coming into the boundaries to vote for what they wanted so the votes weren't actuate -
John Brown (BLEEDING KANSAS)
Group of Men that burned a hotel/destroyed hotels/ransacked homes. So John Brown led a group to stop them. I think It was good he stepped up and stopped the violence. Although he was against slavery he ended up taking many lives to prove his view.
