it was sponsored by Senator Stephen Douglas of Illinois.







What was the final blow to the Whig party?



the Ostend Manifesto



the Kansas-Nebraska Act



the Compromise of 1850



the Lecompton Constitution



the Fugitive Slave Act







Which of the following was a provision of the Fugitive Slave Act?



Alleged fugitive slaves had no right to a jury trial.



Alleged fugitive slaves had to take the witness stand in their own defense.



Alleged fugitive slaves would be returned to slavery if the claimant presented at least six witnesses.



Slaves who had escaped prior to the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo were exempt from capture.



Only state law-enforcement officials could pursue runaway slaves.







What prompted the events that came to be known as Bleeding Kansas?



Proslavery forces stole the election for the state legislature.



Antislavery forces took up Beecher's Bibles.



John Brown led a brutal murder of five proslavery men.



The nation's precarious sectional balance was in danger.



All of the above.







The North was most antagonized by which provision of the Compromise of 1850?

the abolition of the slave trade in Washington, D.C.



the use of popular sovereignty as the basis for determining the status of slavery in the territories



the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Act



the federal assumption of the Texas debt







What was the cornerstone of the southern defense of slavery?



Slavery was a humane and socially beneficial system for millions of black Americans.



The future of American economic development depended upon the maintenance of the southern slave system.



Since it had been good enough for the Founding Fathers, it should be good enough for the generation of the 1850s.



Northern factories employed wage slaves, so southern planters should be allowed to have plantation slavery.



It was up to states to deal with slavery because there was nothing in the Constitution to forbid it.

James Gadsden's purchase of supplies for an unofficial military expedition to Honduras.

the first slave whose freedom was purchased with money raised by John Brown.







What was the largest group of southern whites in the antebellum period?



planters
