My teacher assigned this long packet that has to be finished this weekend and I really need help with these questions. Thanks!
1. Discuss the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850. How did northerners attempt to prevent its enforcement?
2. What were the provisions of the Kansas-Nebraska Act? Why did it anger and alarm many northerners?
3. What brought about the civil war in Kansas in 1856?
4. Explain Lincoln's position on slavery when he ran for the Senate in 1858 and for president in 1860.
