The Final Decades of Compromise and Disunion, spanning 1848 to 1860.
The vast territory acquired through Manifest Destiny promised national glory, but instead, it unleashed the fury of the sectional conflict. The core issue of slavery, previously managed through careful political compromise, now became an unmanageable, moral, and economic force that tore the nation apart.
This era saw the passing of a final, desperate legislative solution, the emergence of radical political violence, and the ultimate fracturing of the national parties.
We will explore the Gold Rush that forced the issue, the Compromise of 1850 that bought a few years of peace, and the catastrophic events in Kansas and the Supreme Court that made the Civil War inevitable.
