-S. Dems favor John C. Breckinridge (who wants slavery in the territories and wants to annex Cuba)

Crittenden Compromise (Last Compromise)
-Last ditch attempt to avoid a major crisis
-Wants to bring back Missouri Compromise
-Lincoln rejects this because the position of the Republican party was no extension of slavery in the territories
Wow, this chapter thus far, is the only one that’s intriguing to me, so much going on.
Why on earth would free-soilers boycott the Lecompton Constitution election if they felt so strongly about, you know, establishing free soil? Even if there were unsavory terms in it. It seems like a glaringly stupid idea, frankly.
test average went up 10 points after watching these videos
Why did the Northern Whigs support the Fugitive Slave Act if the North hated it?
Not to flex but this guy is my teacher 🤩🤩
Jocz passes the vibe check
i’m not even in an APUSH class, just an honors yet we use this book!! ughh it sucks so much!! but thanksss soo much for these videos they keep me from failing!!
8:35 lol the southerners gotta stop being so BUTTHURT !
I genuinely wonder how biased the American Pageant is…
I could be wrong, but I believe the pro-slavery government was set up in Shawnee Mission, NOT Lecompton
https://www.apnotes.net/notes-12e/ch19-12e.html
^^refer to the second paragraph. The Lecompton Constitution was likely drawn up in Lecompton, but the pro-slavery puppet government was in Shawnee Mission.
thank you so much! you saved me so much time!!!
These videos saved me in APUSH!
Thanks 🙂
Apush Final tmw!!! Wish you guys luck and myself luck lol
Omg where is chapter 20 I need more videos
Getting ready for the exam.
Sir you are a saint
when he said what's poppin for a second i thought he was making a vine reference
THIS MAN IS A GOD…
Great video!! I was wondering if you could answer a question. I heard that Lincoln wasn't only there to get rid of slavery, but to save the Union and keep it joined; that was his main role. But then why would he reject the Crittenden Compromise if it was the only thing that could hold the Union together?
