Kansas Pro-Slavery Argumentative Analysis
In 1856 a law was passed that Kansas and Nebraska were able to vote on whether or not or not to be a slave state. Kansas was the first to get all their votes in and it ultimately ended up being a slave state. John Brown and the anti-slavery advocates did not like the results of Kansas now being a slave state. In response to Kansas being a slave state they made a “Lawrence Kansas” which is ultimately a free-settlement in the territory of Kansas. Pro-slavery advocates did not like that they did this so they went to Lawrence Kansas and burnt the town to the ground. John Brown and his anti-slavery advocates despised that they did this to innocent people. So, he got revenge for the burning of the city by killing five pro-slavery supporters next
to the Pottawatomie Creek. After John brown did this the supporters of slavery were enraged and went off to find Brown and the people who killed the supporters. They could not find Brown and his posse. Turns out that Brown had escaped with his friends. After the country was divided even more at the sectional lines.
