In May of 1856, several violent events further inflamed the United States in respect to its ongoing slavery/anti-slavery tensions. The first (on the 21st) was an attack on the town of Lawrence, Kansas, by a large group of slavery advocates: great damage was done to the settlement and one citizen was killed. This attack was apparently motivated by a (non-fatal) shooting during the previous month; it also served as a motivation in turn, with five pro-slavery Kansas settlers being killed in retaliation just a few days later (on the 24th).

Emerson is referring to the possible consequences of the Mexican War. Emerson believed that acquiring the Mexican territories would split the nation further on the issue of slavery.
