Major Events before the Civil War

Around 1858, the United States was divided geographically-north and south-while the North became more industrialized, while the South depended more on slave labor.

The issue of slavery divided te country so much that the state of California esablished the compromise of 1850. Around this time, many southern states were seriusly considering succession.

Many people from the North hated slavery, and helped the slaves become free, later being called the abilitionists. When Uncle Tom's Cabin was published, it angered abilitionists. The book described how slaves were taken to be sold at the slave markets.

Two polititions became famous for their slavery debates, Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas. Lincoln beleived that slavery was against a person's natural rights, while Douglas thought people should decide in thier own states through popular soverienty.
