KANSAS-NEBRASKA ACT, 1854

 This act of Congress overturned the Missouri Compromise because the issue of slavery in

territories of Kansas & Nebraska was to be decided by popular sovereignty (state citizen

vote).

 Bleeding Kansas- Border Ruffians from Missouri snuck across to Kansas and voted for slav-

ery, which was not reflective of the state vote. Bloody battles begin, resulting in a civil war

Chamber).

 Dred Scott, a slave who lived in Missouri (a slave state), moved with his master to Illinois,

then to Wisconsin, both free states. When his master died, some abolitionist lawyers sued

for his freedom, saying that by living in a free state, he was then free.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled:

 Scott could not sue for freedom because he was not a citizen.

 No African American (slave or free) was a citizen.

 The Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional because it banned slavery in some areas.

 When Congress bans slavery, it takes property from slaveholders.

Slaves are property; therefore, the Missouri Compromise is unconstitutional.

the union or leave the union.
