Important events in the Civil War

The Compromise of 1850 and the Fugitive Slave Act
Years after the Missouri Compromise another other issues took place, America acquired a new piece of land. They had to decide whether it would be allowing slavery, or should it be a free land, or simple should the inhabitants of this land chose if they wanted slavery or not. Also, California grew a lot since the gold rush, again the slave issue came up again because they wanted to be a free state, however the balance between states would become unbalanced. Thus, to keep the balance they would probably disagree. Furthermore Texas said that they wanted territory that extended to Santa Fe. Conclusively their was the fact that Washington, the nation's capitol allowed slavery, and it was the home of the largest slave market. This brought up the Compromise of 1850 which is: fugitives didn't have the right to go to trial and citizens had to assist slaves. This then lead slaves to flee, and were captured for no reason, they were defenseless. This is an important event because slaves had not rights, that started to get them angry, thus they wanted to rebel.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act
This act let the people who lived in Nebraska and Kansas to decide whether or not they wanted slavery in their borders. This then caused people to disagree because some were for slavery others didn't want slavery. So they formed to different clans. This was an important event because people forming two clans was just the start of two kind of powers disagreeing over an important issue. The civil war was between the people that wanted slavery and others that didn't, so having people against this showed importance.
The Election of 1860 Brings Abraham Lincoln to the White House
Slavery was becoming one of the major issues in the United States. Abraham Lincoln was a man who disagreed slavery. He tried running for president, however he didn't won the first time. Instead the second time he did win. When he won the north and south had much more reasons to stand up against each other. This was important because having a president that was not for slavery made people that agreed to slavery rebel. This then caused even more issues then leading to the civil war.
