Missouri Compromise (1820) • Compromise Sponsored by Henry Clay
Congressional Compromises and the Road to War The Great Triumvirate Henry Clay Daniel Webster John C. Calhoun representing the representing representing West the North the South John C. Calhoun •From South Carolina •Called “Cast-Iron Man” for his stubbornness and determination. •Owned slaves •Believed states were sovereign and could nullify or reject federal laws they believed were unconstitutional. Daniel Webster •From Massachusetts •Called “The Great Orator” •Did not own slaves Henry Clay •From Kentucky •Called “The Great Compromiser” •Owned slaves •Calmed sectional conflict through balanced legislation and compromises. Missouri Compromise (1820) • Compromise sponsored by Henry Clay. It allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a Slave State and Maine to enter as a Free State. The southern border of Missouri would determine if a territory could allow slavery or not. • Slavery was allowed in some new states while other states allowed freedom for African Americans. • Balanced political power between slave states and free states. Nullification Crisis (1832-1833) • South Carolina, led by Senator John C. Calhoun declared a high federal tariff to be null and avoid within its borders. • John C. Calhoun and others believed in Nullification, the idea that state governments have the right to reject federal laws they see as Unconstitutional. • The state of South Carolina threatened to secede or break off from the United States if the federal government, under President Andrew Jackson, tried to enforce the tariff in South Carolina. Andrew Jackson on Nullification “The laws of the United States, its Constitution…are the supreme law of the land.” “Look, for a moment, to the consequence. -
Compromise of 1850 Earlier You Read About the Missouri Compromise and the Wilmot Proviso
Compromise of 1850 Earlier you read about the Missouri Compromise and the Wilmot Proviso. Keep them in mind as you read here What is a compromise? A compromise is a resolution of a problem in which each side gives up demands or makes concession. Earlier you read about the Missouri Compromise. What conflict did it resolve? It kept the number of slave and free states equal by admitting Maine as free and Missouri as slave and it provided for a policy with respect to slavery in the Louisiana Territory. Other than in Missouri, the Compromise prohibited slavery north of 36°30' N latitude in the land acquired in the Louisiana Purchase. Look at the 1850 map. Notice how the "Missouri Compromise Line" ends at the border to Mexican Territory. In 1850 the United States controls the 36°30' N latitude to the Pacific Ocean. Will the United States allow slavery in its new territory? Slavery's Expansion Look again at this map and watch for the 36°30' N latitude Missouri Compromise line as well as the proportion of free and slave states up to the Civil War, which begins in 1861.

The Other Side of the Monument: Memory, Preservation, and the Battles of Franklin and Nashville
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MONUMENT: MEMORY, PRESERVATION, AND THE BATTLES OF FRANKLIN AND NASHVILLE by JOE R. BAILEY B.S., Austin Peay State University, 2006 M.A., Austin Peay State University, 2008 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Abstract The thriving areas of development around the cities of Franklin and Nashville in Tennessee bear little evidence of the large battles that took place there during November and December, 1864. Pointing to modern development to explain the failed preservation of those battlefields, however, radically oversimplifies how those battlefields became relatively obscure. Instead, the major factor contributing to the lack of preservation of the Franklin and Nashville battlefields was a fractured collective memory of the two events; there was no unified narrative of the battles. For an extended period after the war, there was little effort to remember the Tennessee Campaign. Local citizens and veterans of the battles simply wanted to forget the horrific battles that haunted their memories. Furthermore, the United States government was not interested in saving the battlefields at Franklin and Nashville. Federal authorities, including the War Department and Congress, had grown tired of funding battlefields as national parks and could not be convinced that the two battlefields were worthy of preservation. Moreover, Southerners and Northerners remembered Franklin and Nashville in different ways, and historians mainly stressed Eastern Theater battles, failing to assign much significance to Franklin and Nashville. Throughout the 20th century, infrastructure development encroached on the battlefields and they continued to fade from public memory. -

JAMES RODHES “Instrumental”
JAMES RODHES “Instrumental” James Rhodes, el enfant terrible de la música clásica. “En mis conciertos hablo de las piezas que interpreto, cuento por qué las he elegido, qué importancia tienen para mí y en qué contexto se compusieron”. Así explica James Rhodes como son sus recitales en el prólogo de su libro Instrumental. Memorias de música, medicina y locura (7ª edición, más de 75.000 ejemplares vendidos), con el que ha obtenido un enorme e inesperado éxito en todo el mundo. Además de tocar y contextualizar las obras que interpreta, el pianista británico también cuenta sobre el escenario, entre piezas de Bach, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Schubert o Beethoven, la historia de su vida y como la música le ha ayudado a superar los numerosos obstáculos que se ha ido encontrando por el camino. James Rhodes es un enamorado de la música clásica. Carismático, visceral y muy talentoso, Rhodes asegura que Bach (y especialmente “Las variaciones Goldberg”) le han salvado la vida. Y no exagera. A sus 40 años se ha convertido en uno de los principales divulgadores de la música clásica en el mundo, gracias a sus giras y conciertos en todo tipo de festivales y salas, y varios documentales sobre su figura filmados con la complicidad de cadenas de televisión británicas. James Rhodes, ofrece un enfoque diferente al abordar la música clásica sobre el escenario, interactuando con el público, compartiendo emociones y opiniones sobre la música y sobre los grandes compositores que interpreta. Reverenciado por la crítica británica por su particular estilo de stand up, Rhodes aporta un toque muy personal a cada una de sus actuaciones. -
A. K. Mcclure and the PEOPLE's PARTY in the CAMPAIGN of 1860
A. K. McCLURE AND THE PEOPLE'S PARTY IN THE CAMPAIGN OF 1860 By WILLIAM H. RUSSELL* pOLITICAL campaigns usually are considered important mainly for the election results that follow. Yet the campaign itself can have lasting effects, both in the discussion of issues and in the relations developed among politicians under stress. This was notably true of the campaign of 1860 in Pennsylvania. This cam- paign was to have strong effects on the future of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania, and on the state's attitude toward the issues leading to the Civil War. It affected the career of nearly every prominent Republican politician, but none more than that of young Alexander K. McClure, state chairman of the party during this critical time. A. K. McClure. by 1860, was already well known as one of the state's shrewdest and most ambitious young politicians. At the age of eighteen he had founded his own newspaper at Mifflintown, and become a spokesman for the anti-slavery Whigs. Six years later he took over the Whig newspaper at Chambersburg, where he achieved financial success and leadership in community affairs. By 1857 he had become a lawyer and won election to the legislature. There he would be a leader of the anti-Democratic forces for several years. With the decline of the Whig Party, he had dallied briefly with the new Know-Nothing movement, then joined in the effort to unite Whigs, Know Nothings, and anti-Nebraska Demo- crats under the Republican label. In 1860, still just thirty-two years of age, he was called to be state chairman of his party. -

ARTICLES 195 HOW A CALIFORNIA SETTLER UNSETTLED THE PROSLAVERY LEGISLATURE OF ANTEBELLUM LOUISIANA ALEXANDRA HAVRYLYSHYN* Introduction lavery in the antebellum American South depended upon a set of laws designed Sto enslave and exploit individuals on the basis of their race, while protecting the owners of human property. A long line of literature has established this.1 One might expect that those at the bottom of the hierarchy — enslaved women and girls of African descent — would have no hope of contesting their status.
