American History: Chapter 15
from The Dunce Caps Hosted by The Dunce Caps
Rob and Chris learn about the events that led up to the Civil War. Henry Clay takes the temperature of the slavery debate and keeps it at a nice simmer. The South demands all fugitive slaves be returned to them by the end of week, or else! The border ruffians mount up and head to Kansas to vote with their pistols. Dred Scott waits several years before receiving confirmation that he is indeed a slave. Steven Douglas, the "little giant," goes up against the "real giant" Abraham Lincoln for Senator. TLDR: America is coming to a boil!
