Notes Class 134— Sectionalism and Compromise March 31, 2014 Free Soilers:  stop all African Americans from the territories whether they were free or slave  Northern whites did not want to share the territories with slaveholders or with slaves-“did not want to compete with slave labor or to permit any further extension of the political power of planters.”  they would never interfere with slavery in the states  greatly outnumbered the abolitionists in the North</p><p>Abolitionists:  ban slavery  only 10% of the population</p><p>Missouri Compromise:  Maine Free state  Missouri Slave state  Slavery below the 36 degree 30’ line</p><p>Wilmot Proviso:  outlawing slavery in the territories  Wilmot doesn’t want whites to compete with African Americans for jobs </p><p>Election of 1848:  Whigs-Zachary Taylor  Democrats-Lewis Cass  Free Soilers-Martin Van Buren </p><p>Popular Sovereignty-people decide if a state would have slavery or not</p><p>Compromise of 1850:  California enters as free state  Popular sovereignty would determine slave or free state in the Mexican Cession  Slave trade banned in D.C.-gives foreigners a bad perception of the nation  Stricter fugitive slave law  Boarder dispute between TX and NM solved-Gov’t helps pay Mexican debts</p><p>Henry Clay-Great Compromiser fugitive slave act  All citizens had to participate in catching slaves  Fined $1,000 or jailed for 6 months if helped runaway  Special Courts-$10 for sending slave back-$5 for setting one free  Northerners feel they are part of the slave system-the federal government had gone into the business of man- hunting and required freeborn Americans to become man-hunters on occasion  Far more than a law to overtake slaves that were running away but also a device to recover slaves that ran away in the past</p>
