@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialA #FugitiveSlaveAct passed Congress in 1850 on #ThisDayInHistory as part of the #CompromiseOf1850. It required officials and citizens of anti-slavery states return escapees, and was following by a new #liberal party (the #RepublicanParty) and to #BleedingKansas and the #CivilWar.
@shadowofyesterday.bsky.socialIn May 1856, a senator was nearly beaten to death at his Senate desk. Every telling since avoided what was said, two days earlier, about an old man's stroke. #BleedingKansas #AmericanHistory #CivilWarHistory #RoadToCivilWar #SenateHistory #USHistory
