The Missouri Compromise. Allowing the people to decide free or slave was Popular Sovereignty.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act (No, really!)
Stephen Douglas did not realize the depth of anti-slavery feeling in the North when he proposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The bill repealed the portion of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 that limited slavery, and gave states the right to decide for themselves whether or not they would allow slavery.
The Northern States were against slavery because they didn't see it as a humane form of labor, and didn't need slavery as their main form of labor was industrial. The Southern States wanted to keep slavery as a form of agricultural labor so they left the United States to form the succeeded states aka the Confederate States of America. New york was a slavery state even it was at north
