Pardons~ These would be given if they took a loyalty oath.
Exceptions~ No pardons were issued to high ranking Confederates and people who owned $20,000+ of property.
Abolish~ States had to abolish slavery before they were allowed back into the Union.
Secession~ States were required to repeal their secession ordinance.
Southern states listened, but once Congress was back in session they refused to seat southerners.

    There were also personal disputes in the time period. Arguments led into admitting California as a free state. Southerners did not agree with this opportunity and wanted California as a Southern Slave State. Other arguments between the North and South were the formations of governments in the South without limitations on slavery, giving orders to Texas to withdraw the land claims in New Mexico, evening out Texas by having the federal government to strike the state’s debts, allowing slavery to last in Washington D.C., banning slave trade in Washington D.C., passing a more successful fugitive slave law, and limiting Congress from sliding into the interstate slave…

    The North and South in the nineteenth century were different in lifestyle and morale as well as economy. The north had a booming industrial economy while in the South, cotton was king. Because of this, congress was continuously addressing controversial matters and providing answers that did not satisfy either one side or both. The early 1800s were full of the North and the South making many attempts at reconciliation that just fell short. Among those were the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and the Great Compromise of 1850. Other tempestuous attempts led to the Tariff/Nullification Controversy, anti slavery debates in congress, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Whether it was one side or the other, there was always someone to oppose - and in some cases, defy - the laws put in place, which eventually led to the succession of the southern states and the Civil War.…

    Prior to 1860 the United States was already split into opposing sides fighting for power. Although these conflicts never reached the battlefield, the slave’s states and Free states were always competing for representation in congress. South Carolina felt that certain powers were restrained from them and it imperiled their continued existence as sovereign states (DOC A). So, as the leader, they declared secession with several states following shortly after. They were then called the Confederate states of America. This was so revolutionary because the Union destroyed everything in the South and it led to the strengthening of Federal Power over the states.…

    Just like I said before the South broke compromises to keep slavery going (Doc 1). The South felt like they had rights and powers the government could not deny (Doc 5). The South felt overpowered by the government and that is why they overridden compromises and led to states seceding from the Union. Southern states did not want follow the rules of the government so it could start a war and make them want to…

    Although Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee began to conform to the President's terms, Congress found the proposition to be unacceptable. It felt that the proposition didn't protect freed slaves enough, and was too lax with its punishment. Congress also felt that the Confederate states had left the Union, and were now conquered areas. Congress thought that it was in charge of overseeing the re-absorption of the states.…

    Missouri Compromise

    • 951 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In 1819, the territory of Missouri applied for statehood. It was the first new state to be taken from the land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. The issue of Missouri attempting to become a state sparked much debate and controversy. The debate in Congress was mainly about sectional power and not whether slavery was right or wrong. The people from the North disagreed with the added representation in Congress and in the Electoral College. Since Missouri would be a slave state, they would be able to count three-fifths of their slave population towards representation. The three-fifths rule had already added significant power to the South. In 1790, the South controlled 47 percent of Congress while only having 40 percent of the white population. The crisis brought the commitment of slavery and the resentment of Southern political power to a heated collision. The North vowed to give up no more land to slavery, while the South began talks of dissolving the union and civil war.…

    During the expansion westward of United States, controversy between the Northern and the Southern States quickly arose. This was primarily due to the disagreement of what these new western territories would become- free or slave states. The Southern States wanted these new territories to support slavery so they could send more pro-slavery senators/ representatives to Congress, which was the opposite for the Northern States. Many important events from 1845-1861 quickly led to the start of the Civil War due to these Northern and Southern disputes.…

    Many of the presidents feared that if they dealt with the slavery problem that it would get worse. Anything relating to slavery was generally ignored in government. The government could only forbid slavery or allow it in the new states. The North wanted to stop the extension of slavery into new territories because they believed it would take away from the job opportunities. The new western states were decided by popular…

    They depended greatly on the North for their industries and factories, because they had very few. They also opposed federal spending on internal improvements and they wanted no tariffs. Even despite having a somewhat weak economy, the South wanted to gain their independence to become their own country, and to have their own way of life, which included slavery as legal. When Abraham Lincoln was elected in 1860, the South thought that they would have no voice in the government, considering that Abraham Lincoln was against slavery. In hopes of being their own country, the South had no intention of fighting a war. However, before the war started, the South was unwilling to compromise. They thought that slavery should be allowed in all of the territories. They disagreed to the Missouri Compromise and to parts of the Compromise of 1850. Many felt that these compromises were unfair and biased. The South felt that their way of life and views on slavery were right and just. They turned to what they thought was their only choice: seceding from the Union. This enrage the North, which was one of the main causes of the Civil War.…

    Civil War Causes

    Another cause of the American Civil War was the fight for whether the government would value federal rights over states’ rights. Economic and Social differences caused the Northern States to view certain subjects differently than the Southern States. The South was also afraid that they would be outnumbered in Congressional representation and not properly exhibited. However, the Constitution allows each slave to be counted as three-fifths of a person for population count, which in turn gave the South the advantage when it came to representation. In 1857, the Dred Scott Decision declared the “freed” Negroes did not have citizenship. Northerners were very shaken by this and the South attempted to force them to return freed or runaway slaves to their owners. Not too long after, Abraham Lincoln, an anti-slavery Republican, was elected into presidency. He was convinced that slavery would never be allowed to be adopted in new territories and will ultimately be abolished. His victory ensured the South that they had drawn the short end of the stick. This sparked a fire in the South and they fell to their only other alternative. South Carolina published its “Declaration of the Causes of Secession.” They knew Abraham Lincoln was anti-slavery and believed he would give preferentiality to northern interests. His election resulted in the secession of eleven southern…
