    The Dred Scott verdict - which appeared to mean that slavery was legal anywhere in the USA.

    The Lincoln-Douglas debates - won by Douglas, who said that each state should decide whether to be free or slave.

    The John Brown raid - which made the Abolitionists look like terrorists, and gave respectability to Southern slave-owners.
