<span>he Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed each territory to decide the issue of slavery on the basis of popular sovereignty. Kansas with slavery would violate the Missouri Compromise, which had kept the Union from falling apart for the last thirty-four years. The long-standing compromise would have to be repealed. Opposition was intense, but ultimately the bill passed in May of 1854. Territory north of the sacred 36°30' line was now open to popular sovereignty. The North was outraged.The political effects of Douglas' bill were enormous. Passage of the bill irrevocably split the Whig Party, one of the two major political parties in the country at the time. Every northern Whig had opposed the bill; almost every southern Whig voted for it. With the emotional issue of slavery involved, there was no way a common ground could be found. Most of the southern Whigs soon were swept into the Democratic Party. Northern Whigs reorganized themselves with other non-slavery interests to become the REPUBLICAN PARTY, the party of Abraham Lincoln. This left the Democratic Party as the sole remaining institution that crossed sectional lines. Animosity between the North and South was again on the rise. The North felt that if the Compromise of 1820 was ignored, the Compromise of 1850 could be ignored as well. Violations of the hated Fugitive Slave Law increased. Trouble was indeed back with a vengeance.</span>

This territory was controlled by France but not really developed due to a lack of funding and human resources. After the French defeat in the Seven Years War, part of the territory of Lousiana was lost and transferred to the British winners.
<em>In fact, the names of those places abovementioned are clearly derived from the French language (for example, rouge= red in French, or the surname Delocroix which is French too). </em>
Answer:
Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina was one of the four forts that had not yet been captured by the Confederates, so Lincoln wanted to keep the fort at all costs in order to keep the Union's strenght in the South. He sent unarmed ships to supply the fort with military and food supplies. The Confederate President Jefferson Davis gave command to Southern forces led by General Beauregard to bomb the fort on April 12 to force it to surrender, which happened.
The Northern states all supported Lincoln. He called for the fortresses to be reclaimed and the Union to be preserved. At the same time, 75,000 volunteers were called up for a period of 90 days. In the previous months, several governors had trained their militias. Their troops started to move the next day.
