Reference no: EM133642704

As westward expansion continued, the national conversation concerning slavery became more contentious, which furthered a sectional divide and eventually secession. Prior to Fort Sumter, however, political parties reached a series of compromises - Compromise of 1850, Wilmot Proviso, Fugitive Slave Act 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska act and the US Supreme Court's Dred Scott decision. Your paper should answer the following question: How did these events lead to secession? Consider questions like, how did the South react to each decision? How did the decisions affect Northerners? Was compromise possible after the election of 1860?
