Shaping America. U. S. history to 1877. Irrepressible conflicts. Lesson 20

Description

Irrepressible Conflicts examines how the persistence of slavery dashed any hopes that the Compromise of 1850 might settle sectional differences between north and south. Abolitionists and slave catchers dramatized the moral issue involved with the Fugitive Slave Act, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act and Dred Scott decision led to irrepressible conflicts.
