Chapter 454: Take control of Congress!

Once the ambitions of the slave owners are realized, and slavery is extended throughout the United States, not only will the booming industrial and economic development in the northern United States be destroyed by slavery, but every civilian in the United States will probably Inability to repay debt is even directly abducted and become a slave!

Under the slavery of the United States, there are not only black slaves, but also a considerable number of white slaves in the plantations of slaves in the south!

Some of them were unable to pay their debts and were forced to be slaves to creditors. Some were poor immigrants who thought of North America but lacked tolls.

People who lack self-defense in immigration, such as frail shackles and children, are often forced or deceived to become slaves.

The criminals who committed felony crimes in the United Kingdom, and even some of the poor who were guilty of minor mistakes and were exiled to the Americas, are also a major source of white American slaves.

Although the Republican Party’s propaganda is somewhat alarmist, it has little effect on the election of the president, but it has made many American civilians who are pursuing a better life alert. If slavery is confined to the southern states, they are not worried. Some slaves destroy their peaceful life.

But if these wicked slave owners really have the intention of expanding slavery to the north, they will resolutely resist and will never allow this to happen!

Not to mention the existence of slavery will greatly reduce their job opportunities and compete for their living space. Even their own and their children may become slaves at any time for various reasons.

You know, in the Southern Slave State, the number of slaves accounts for one-third of the total population. Who can guarantee that if slavery really spreads, can they remain free forever?

The Republican Party’s campaign is not so much a campaign for president, but rather a threat of slavery and arousing public’s vigilance against slavery. This behavior does not seem to make much sense. As time goes by, it will be Did not gradually forget.

But in fact, this is a piece of wood that the Republican Party has filled in the hearts of the people. It seems that it has no effect, but as long as someone adds another fire, the flame against slavery will burn!

And this fire was quickly ignited!

The 1856 presidential election ended with the victory of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party’s James Buchanan was successfully elected as the 17th President and officially took office in March 1857.

James Buchanan chose to compromise on the issue of slavery. The power of the southern slave owners rose again and the arrogance was even more arrogant. Their eyes were no longer confined to the untapped west, but they attempted to further extend slavery to the whole. United States!

In 1857, the Southern slave owners attempted to use the "Scott judgment" to extend slavery to the entire territory of the United States.

Scott was originally a black slave from J. Emerson, a military doctor in Missouri.

In 1834, he moved to the Free State of Illinois with his master, and later moved to the Wisconsin area, which was banned from slavery under the 1820 Missouri Compromise, and was therefore free.

But after returning to Missouri in the slave state in 1838, he was re-invaded as a slave.

In 1846, Scott filed a complaint in Missouri, based on the fact that he was twice a resident of the free land, demanding the restoration of freedom, winning the first trial, but was later dismissed by the Missouri court.

Scott also appealed to the Federal Supreme Court.

Under the control of the slave forces in the South, on March 6, 1857, the Federal Supreme Court ruled:

"Scott is a black slave.

The slave is the property of the slave owner and is not a US citizen. He has no right to appeal to the federal court. Unless proper legal procedures are passed, the property right cannot be cancelled, and Scott has not handled such a procedure before.

Since the property of citizens should be protected by the Constitution, neither the Congress nor the local councils have the right to declare the ban on slavery in any part of the United States. ”

As early as 1820, Congress passed the Missouri Compromise, which stipulated that the slave states and the free states were divided by a 36-degree 30 latitude line. The territory south of this line allowed slavery to exist, and the territory north of the line was forbidden. Slavery.

This ruling actually declared that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional and that slavery was legal in all US territories.

The slave forces in the south wanted to use this judgment to erode the northern region a little bit, relying on the power of superiority in Congress to gradually extend slavery to the territory of the United States, but they did not expect that this judgment caused the people of the northern states. Fierce protests.

The northern people who thought that slavery had nothing to do with them suddenly remembered the ambitions of the slave owners and the threat of slavery advocated by the Republican Party during the presidential campaign last year. They were not too concerned, but now the facts are in front of them.

The "Scott Judgment" does indeed show the ambition of the slave-lord forces to the north and the country. If the situation continues to develop, the entire United States will become the world of slavery!

The impact of the "Scott Judgment" quickly fermented at an unimaginable rate ~www.NovelMTL.com~ This ruling exacerbated the struggle between slaves in the south and north and led to the abolitionist John Brown uprising, Armed to rescue the southern slaves.

The scale of this armed uprising was not large, but the impact was extremely extensive. It shocked the whole country and continued until 1859. Many people joined the ranks of the struggle. The voice of liberation of slaves spread throughout every corner of the United States. The abolitionist movement was pushed to a new climax.

The new presidential election has come again.

Since the "Scott Judgment", the domestic situation has become increasingly tense and the voice of the people's war has become more and more high. In this context, the Republican Party has been greatly developed and has risen in Congress and has been overwhelmed. With the power of the Democratic Party, President James Buchanan has long lost control of Congress, and the Democratic Party, which represents the interests of the slaves of the South, has been completely suppressed.

The Republican Party’s campaign platform has not changed much. Instead, it has become more radical, vowing to abolish slavery and liberate southern black slaves.

Unlike the presidential election four years ago, the threat of slavery promoted by the Republican Party is considered to be alarmist. Now the facts are in front of us. All the people have truly felt the threat of slavery. There is no need to preach more, the Republican program. Fully in line with the demands of the American people today, slavery must be abolished!

Therefore, Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln received enthusiastic support from the vast majority of the population.

The Democratic Party’s declaration of maintaining domestic stability was seen as a compromise with the slave owners, causing great dissatisfaction among ordinary people.

The results of this election are obvious. Under the background that most people in the country resolutely resist slavery, the victory of the Republican Party is the general trend!
