Once the ambition of the slave owners is really realized and slavery is extended to the whole of the United States, at that time, not only the booming industrial and economic development in the northern part of the United States will be destroyed by slavery, but every civilian in the American Federation may be enslaved because he is unable to repay his debts or even directly abducted!

Under the slavery system in the United States, there were not only black slaves, but also a considerable number of white slaves on the plantations of southern slave owners!

Some of them were forced into slavery because they could not pay their debts, and some were poor immigrants who wanted to North America but lacked the money to travel.

Immigrants who lack the ability to defend themselves, such as frail beggars and children, are also often forced or lured into slavery.

Criminals who committed serious crimes in England, and even poor people who had committed minor mistakes and were exiled to the Americas, were also a major source of white slaves in the United States.

Although this kind of Republican propaganda is somewhat alarmist and does little to win votes for the presidency, it has made many American civilians who pursue a better life wary of it, and if slavery is confined to the southern states, they are not worried about ruining their peaceful lives for the sake of some slaves.

But if these evil slave owners really had the intention of expanding slavery to the north, they would resolutely resist it and would never allow this to happen!

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

You know, in the southern slave states, the number of slaves accounted for one-third of the total population, and who could guarantee that if slavery did spread, they would be free forever?

The Republican Party's campaign was not so much about running for president as it was about promoting the threat of slavery and arousing the public's vigilance against slavery.

But in fact, this is a firewood filled by the Republican Party in the hearts of the people, and now it seems that it has no effect, but as long as someone adds another fire, the flame of opposition to slavery will surely burn!

And the fire was soon ignited!

The 1856 presidential election ended in a Democratic victory, with James Buchanan of the Democratic Party elected as the seventeenth president and officially inaugurated in March 1857.

James Buchanan chose to compromise on the issue of slavery, and the power of the Southern slave owners rose again and became more arrogant, and their eyes were no longer limited to the undeveloped West, but they tried to further extend slavery to the whole of America!

In 1857, Southern slave owners attempted to use the Scott Judgment to extend slavery to all of the United States.

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

In 1834, he moved with his master to the Free State of Illinois, and later to Wisconsin, where slavery was prohibited under the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and was thus freed.

But when he returned to Missouri in 1838, he was re-enslaved.

In 1846, Scott filed a petition in Missouri to restore his freedom on the basis of a resident of the free land who had twice been free, and the first instance was won, but the Missouri court rejected it.

Scott appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Under the control of the Southern slave owners, on March 6, 1857, the Federal Supreme Court ruled:

"Scott was a black slave.

Slaves are the property of slave owners and are not U.S. citizens, and have no right to appeal to federal courts, which cannot be extinguished except through due legal process, which Scott has not previously done.

Because citizens' property is constitutionally protected, neither Congress nor local legislators have the power to declare a ban on slavery anywhere in the United States. ”

As early as 1820, Congress passed the Missouri Compromise, which provided for the division of slave states and free states at 36 degrees 30 degrees north latitude, with slavery allowed in the territories south of the line and forbidden in the territories north of the line.

And this judgment effectively declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional and that slavery was legal in all U.S. territories.

The Southern slave-owning forces wanted to use this judgment to encroach on the northern region little by little, relying on the dominant power in Congress to gradually extend slavery to the entire territory of the United States, but they did not expect that this judgment would cause fierce protests from the people of the northern states.

The people of the North, who had thought that slavery had nothing to do with them, suddenly remembered the ambitions of slave owners and the threat of slavery that the Republican Party had preached during last year's presidential campaign.

The "Scott Verdict" really shows the ambitions of the slave-owning forces for the North and even the whole country, and if the situation is allowed to continue to develop, the whole United States will become a world of slavery!

The effects of the Scott Verdict unfolded at an unimaginable rate, intensifying the struggles over slavery in the South and North and leading to the abolitionist John Brown uprising, armed to free black slaves in the South.

The armed uprising was not large-scale, but its impact was extremely widespread, shaking the whole country, and it lasted until 1859, when many people joined the struggle, and the call for the emancipation of black slaves spread to every corner of the United States, and the abolitionist movement in the country was pushed to a new climax.

And the new presidential election is here again.

Since the "Scott verdict", the domestic situation has become increasingly tense during this period, and the call for popular war has become louder and louder, in this context, the Republican Party has developed greatly, and has completely risen in Congress, overpowering the Democratic Party in one fell swoop, President James Buchanan has long lost control of Congress, and the Democratic forces representing the interests of Southern slave owners have been completely suppressed.

The Republican Party's campaign platform has not changed much, but has become more radical, vowing to abolish slavery and emancipate black slaves in the South.

Unlike the presidential election four years ago, when the Republican Party preached the threat of slavery was considered alarmist, now the facts are in front of us, all the people really feel the threat of slavery, and there is no need to preach more, the Republican Party's platform is fully in line with the demands of the American people today, and slavery must be abolished!

As a result, the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, had the enthusiastic support of the vast majority of the population.

The Democratic Party's declaration of maintaining domestic stability was seen as a compromise with slave owners, which caused great discontent among ordinary people.

The results of this election campaign are clear, and against the backdrop of a large part of the country's resolute resistance to slavery, the Republican Party's victory is the trend of the times! (https:)
