How did the North and the South react to the Compromise of 1850?

History

trapecia [35]1 year ago

Although each side received benefits, the north seemed to gain the most. The balance of the Senate was now with the free states, although California often voted with the south on many issues in the 1850s. The major victory for the south was the Fugitive Slave Law. In the end, the north refused to enforce it. Massachusetts even called for its nullification, stealing an argument from John C. Calhoun. Northerners claimed the law was unfair. The flagrant violation of the Fugitive Slave Law set the scene for the tempest that emerged later in the decade.

Fugitive Slave Act (allowed whites to find their runaway slaves and take them to court, but technically gave power to whites to bring any black person to court, slave or not; judge always decided in favor of white plaintiff; act was clearly unfair and in favor of the South)

Utah & New Mexico Territories Choose For Slavery By Popular Sovereignty (gave choice to the people, created new territories which could account for the expansion of slavery; another pro for the South)

The North:

California Admitted As Free State (another free state to even the balance between free and slave states, a benefit for the North)

Slave Trade Ends In Washington D.C. (the slave trade becomes prohibited in the nation's capital, however slavery was still legal; not much of a change, but a positive change nonetheless)

they both felt as if the compromise wasnt fair.

The difference between gentleman’s warfare and militia warfare in the revolutionary war
jekas [21]

Answer:

There's a popular belief that Americans fought and won the entire revolution with nothing but guerrilla warfare. That's not true, and the myth largely stems from how the war began. The very first military engagement between British and American forces occurred on April 19 of 1775. American militia men had been covertly transporting weapons and colonial government leaders from town to town, hiding them from the British army. The British heard about these stockpiles in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord and went to seize them. The American volunteers of these town gathered together to oppose the British, resulting in a brief skirmish. As the British beat a hasty retreat back towards Boston, American militia units basically popped out of the bushes along the entire road, shot a few volleys, and disappeared. It wasn't enough to decimate the British, but the British weren't prepared for it, and it drove them back.

Explanation:

Imagine that you are in charge of leading a small army of volunteer soldiers against the largest and most powerful professional army in the world. Are you going to march straight into battle? Not if you expect it to be a very long one!

For centuries, small armies have relied on guerrilla warfare to help even the odds. This includes non-traditional wartime tactics like ambushing, sabotage, and raids rather than direct engagements. Guerrilla warfare is not meant to really defeat an opponent; instead, the idea is to make the war drag on and become so expensive that your adversary gives up. It's the different between fighting a professional boxer versus a swarm of mosquitoes - the mosquitoes won't kill you, but they just may drive you away.

Amongst the many armies to try out these tactics were the American colonists fighting for their independence. The American Revolution was a conflict between a group of volunteers and a massive professional army. Did they think they could defeat Britain, the heavyweight champion of European colonialism? Maybe not, but while Britain prepared to defend its title, it was the colonists who learned how to 'float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.'

stepladder [879]
James B. Weaver, of the Populist party. Although he only won five, not six. 

He did get one faithless elector from Oregon, so they might be counting that.
