Directions
2. California joined the Union as a free state on September 9th, 1850. California was below the 36'30 line and it was against the Missouri Compromise to be a free state.
3. On September 18th, 1850, the Fugitive Slave Law was passed. That meant every slave that fled to the north and was seen in the north, the person that saw the slave was reported or that person that didn't report the slave goes to jail.
5. In 1857, Dred Scott (a slave) was taken to Illinois by his master. Scott wanted to sue for his freedom and congress said that Scott couldn't sue because he was property not a person and that somebody can take their property wherever he wants.
6. In 1859, John Brown and his sons risked their lives to go to Harper Ferry, Virginia to raid their arsenal to hopefully lead a slave revolt. That failed and no one joined in and the all eventually died from that.
8.The American Civil War then started in 1861 and ended in 1865
