APUSH CHAPTER 19 MULTIPLE CHOICE WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS||GUARANTEED SUCCESS

Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin was strongly rooted in religiously based antislavery sentiments Hinton R. Helper's The Impending Crisis of the South contended that slavery did great harm to the poor whites of the South Southerners were especially enraged by abolitionists' funding of antislavery settlers in Kansas because Douglas's Kansas-Nebraska had seemed to imply that Kansas would become a slave state As submitted to Congress, the Lecompton Constitution was designed to bring Kansas into the Union, while making it impossible to prohibit slavery there The fanatical abolitionist John Brown made his first entry into violent antislavery politics by killing five proslavery settlers at Pottawatomie Creek, Kansas Congressman Preston Brooks beat Senator Charles Sumner nearly to death on the Senate floor because Sumner had used abusive language to describe the South and a South Carolina senator The election of 1856 was most noteworthy for the dramatic rise of the Republican party In the Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not prohibit slavery in any of the territories because slaves were private property of which owners could not be deprived The financial and economic collapse of 1857 increased northern anger at the South's refusal to support higher tariffs and free western homesteads for farmers The crucial Freeport Question that Lincoln demanded that Douglas answer during their debates was whether the people of a territory could prohibit slavery in light of the Dred Scott decision Southerners were particularly enraged by the John Brown affair because northerners' celebration of Brown as a martyr seemed to indicate their support for slave insurrection In the campaign of 1860, the Democratic party split in two, with each faction nominating its own presidential candidate During the campaign of 1860, Abraham Lincoln and the Republican party opposed the expansion of slavery but did not threaten to attack slavery in the South Within two months after the election of Lincoln seven southern states had seceded and formed the Confederate States of America Lincoln rejected the proposed Crittenden Compromise primarily because it left open the possibility that slavery could expand south into Mexico, Central America, or the Caribbean
