Chapter 18: Renewing the Sectional Struggle, 1848 - 1854

  • Consider the characters and drama of the Senate debates over the Compromise of 1850, especially the roles of Webster, Clay, Seward, and Douglas.

  • Discuss the Fugitive Slave Law and the Underground Railroad as running sores in the sectional conflict. The life of Harriet Tubman might provide a focus.

  • Examine the various filibustering efforts in connection with the issues of Cuba and Central America, and relate them to the southern dream of expanding slavery by acquiring new territory to the South.

  • Focus on Douglas as a typical northern Democratone who did not really like slavery but thought it a secondary issue that should not disrupt important matters like railroads.
