Excerpt from The First Two Years of Kansas: Or Where, When and How the Missouri Bushwhacker, the Missouri Train and Bank Robber, and Those Who Stole Themselves Rich in the Name of Liberty, Were Sired and Reared In 1820 the slavery question had been arbitrarily settled by the establish ment of a line north of which human slavery could not exist. But there was a growing conscience in the North on the subject, and the restlessness of the South had been increased by the admission of California as a free state at the close of the Mexican war. At that time a schism had occurred among the Northern Democrats concerning the extension of slavery into the territory acquired from Mexico. Which took form in a proposition advanced by David Wilmot, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, known as the Wilmot proviso. This measure largely augmented the anti-slavery feeling already existing, as it provided that slavery should not be extended into this new territory, Mexico having abolished slavery some twenty years before. Upon the principles of this proviso ten years later the Republican party was formed, and fourteen years later Abraham Lincoln was elected president. The outcome of the Missouri compromise, adopted in 1820, had in the interval made Kansas free soil. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
