 * **Denmark Vesey**- A free slave who led a rebellion in Charleston in 1822. He was betrayed by informers and the rebellion was quickly shut down. Denmark and 30 of his followers were publicly hung to show what would happen is the slaves tried to revolt. As a result of his rebellion, the government began to crack down on the slave laws. Also as a result, Denmark sparked other abolitionist movements, and inspired many to follow in his foot steps.

 * **Crittenden Compromise-** After the Election of 1860 secession began to occur. In an attempt to bring the South back into the Union the Crittenden Amendments to the Compromise of 1850 were created by Senator James Henry Crittenden. This Compromise stated that any territories above the line drawn in the Missouri Compromise were free, and the issue of slavery was to be based on popular sov. It also stated that the territories below the line (the slave states), slavery was to be protected with a federal law, and all new territories enterting below the line were to be slave states. However, Lincoln was concerned that having a federal law protecting slavery would make slavery permanent so the Compromise did not pass.
 * Aboltionism
 * **Wilmot Proviso-** A man named Wilmot was a representative from Pennsylvania who was opposed to the expansion of slavery in any new territory gained from the Mexican War. However, Texas was gained from the Mexican War and was a slave state so the Proviso did not pass. Even though the Proviso did not pass the South felt as though this was yet another restriction from the North on what they could do with their property which caused more sectional tension. The South did not like the way they were being treated by the North.
 * Fugitive Slave Law
 * "Bleeding Kansas"
 * Election of 1860
