Good Morning, Scholars.
I CAN: DESCRIBE HOW THE KANSAS-NEBRASKA ACT (1854) INCREASED TENSION BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH.
FOCUS QUESTION: BASED ON THE LONG-STANDING TENSION BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH, DO YOU THINK IT WAS INEVITABLE (UNAVOIDABLE) THAT IT WOULD LEAD TO WAR?
Yesterday we discussed how the Compromise of 1850 led to increased bitterness between the North and the South. Today, we will describe how the passing of the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) only further increased the conflict with the Northern and Southern states over the issue of slavery. As the nation expanded westward, the North and South fought bitterly over whether slavery should exist in these new territories. Remember to closely analyze the text material for today. Cite details and write in complete sentences.
EXIT QUESTION: PRETEND YOU ARE THE EDITOR OF A NEWSPAPER IN 1856. WHAT WOULD YOU CHOOSE AS A HEADLINE (TITLE) FOR YOUR STORY ABOUT THE CONFLICT IN KANSAS? WHY?
Keep working hard--I'm proud of you! Mr. Bruning

Historical Background:
>The Supreme Court Case, Brown v. Board of Education (1955), declared that “separate but equal” facilities were unconstitutional.
>Little Rock, Arkansas, moved toward integration of the public school system. This process, however, would be executed slowly.
>Arkansas Governor Orval Faubus mobilized the Arkansas National Guard to prevent the black students from entering the school in defiance of the Supreme Court and federal authority.
>A federal judge ruled this action illegal, and Faubus removed the troops.
>On September 24th, when the Little Rock Nine tried to enter school again, angry white crowds stormed the school grounds.
>The events were captured by the media and were broadcast and seen throughout the nation and world.
>President Eisenhower sent in federal troops to personally escort the students to the school.
