1 gen 1856 anni - Bleeding Kansas

Descrizione:

many rushed to vote on slavery in Kansas.

A proslavery force, seven hundred strong, looted and burned the antislavery town of Lawrence. The attack enraged John Brown, a fifty-six-year-old abolitionist from New York who commanded a free-state militia. Brown retaliated in Pottawatomie, which kicked off Bleeding Kansas. Republicans distanced themselves from Brown and radical abolitionists but denounce proslavery
