Teacher Leflar Civil War Timeline
In August of 1831 when, a slave named
Nat Turner
who was a
guerrilla
,a
mutineer
, started to
sedition
. Which people started to
revolt
against many slave owners in the south.
Fifty-five slaves, including Turner, were tried and executed for their role in the insurrection. Nearly two hundred more were
lynched
by frenzied mobs. Although small-scale slave
civil disobedience
uprisings were fairly common in the American South, Nat Turner’s rebellion was the bloodiest. After the Rebellion, all the freed slaves had no where to stay so this is where the
freedman's bureau act
comes in. This provides medicine and houses and food for the slaves that where freed.
Virginia lawmakers reacted to the crisis by rolling back what few civil rights slaves and free black people possessed at the time
1846- 1850
James K. Polk
served as president at this time until 1849 when
Zachary Taylor
got inaugurated
The Wilmot Proviso was a piece of legislation proposed by David Wilmot (D-FS-R PA) at the close of the Mexican- American War.
Wilmot spent two years
Rallying
for his plan. He offered it as a rider on existing bills, introduced it to Congress on its own, and even tried to attach it to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. All attempts failed.
1850 | The Compromise of 1850
With national relations soured by the debate over the Wilmot Proviso, senators Henry Clay and Stephen Douglas managed to broker a shaky accord with the Compromise of 1850.
The new Fugitive Slave Act, by forcing non-slaveholders to participate in the institution, also led to increased polarization among centrist citizens.

rescued slaves through the
underground railroad
with
Joshua Giddings
. The underground railroad is a system of tunnels that slaves escape through. There where no
slogans
used for the underground railroad because it had to be secret because the slave owners could not find out about it. If they where caught they would of been
fettered
down and whipped if not killed. Freeing them would
emancipate
or
liberate
most of the slaves. Owners could use the
Fugitive slave act
to hunt down or track the slaves but this process was abused.
