The fugitive slave act angered many northerners who wanted to obtain equality, for it made it so that freed African Americans were sent back down to the South to work yet again in the system of slavery. The Kansas Nebraska Act was put into place so that Stephen Douglas would be able to have his transcontinental railroad in the north. It made it so that the Kansas and Nebraska territories were no longer free states, and were now up to popular sovereignty - meaning whether or not slavery would exist there now depended on a vote. The Kansas Nebraska Act ended up causing the Sack of Lawrence where Missourians who had been planning to go up to Kansas to throw the vote in favor of being a slave state, found out that some northerners had also planned on this, and had set up camp in the city of Lawrence. About 800 southern men marched up to Lawrence to get rid of the northerners - only to find that the northerners had heard of this and fled. Angered, the southern men ransacked and burned down the town. The Sack of Lawrence then caused the North to retaliate with the Pottawatomie Massacre. In the Pottawatomie Massacre, John Brown and a small group of his followers marched up to southern men's homes and murdered them.

For wedding ceremonies, the application and venue expenses are not refundable. In addition to the $25 application cost and the $1 credit card processing fee, there is a $400 site fee. The entire $426.00 non-refundable fee is charged when your application is submitted.

You can wed on the grounds of central park at no cost (unless you are doing it at the conservatory Gardens or at any of the other vendors). Numerous locations included into the park are ideal for your wedding celebration.

Weddings held during the week are often less expensive, with Monday being the least expensive and costs rising as the weekend approaches. Naturally, the difference will differ amongst venues, as high-end venues are always high-end.
