Actual size
4 years after the Compromise of 1850, slavery was now possible in areas that used to outlaw it. Popular Sovereignty would be used to decide. So, pro and anti slavery people poured into KS ready for a fight; and fight they do. It gets so bad that it winds up being called “Bleeding Kansas.”

"Admit Me Free" flags showed support for a free-state Kansas.
This flag was originally used in a Republican campaign rally for Frémont in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1856. Four years later it was used at a rally for Lincoln.

Lincoln-Douglas Debate (1858)
• After Dred Scott, Republicans said the Southern Dems wanted slavery everywhere in the US!
• Lincoln went after Douglas because the KS-NE Act was his idea.
• This is how Lincoln 1st became known in American politics, that’s why you need to know about the debates.

Pottawatomie Creek and Harper’s Ferry. Harper’s Ferry was were the US arsenal (guns) were in VA. Brown wanted to arm the slaves in VA so there could be a huge revolt. Notice the date, right before the election of Lincoln, and less than two years before the first battle of the Civil War

John Brown’s Body Written By?
12th Massachusetts Regiment as a spoof, to tease their sergeant, also named John Brown.
The melody of the song was written as a hymn tune by William Steffe, in 1856.
In 1861, poet Julia Ward Howe (1819–1910), and her husband Samuel, visited a Union Army camp near Washington, D.C.
They heard the soldiers singing "John Brown’s Body," which starts out, "John Brown’s body lies a’molderin’ in the grave" James Freeman Clarke, a minister, suggested that Julia write a new set of words for the tune.
Her poem, called "Battle Hymn of the Republic," was published in the February 1862 Atlantic Monthly magazine.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the LordHe is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
