Q The 1850s were a time of social and political tension and violence. In this module’s discussion, students will pick a specific event and expand on that event’s influence in further shaping the Civil War era. To begin, pick one of the following: • The Compromise of 1850 • The Dred Scott Decision • Bleeding Kansas • Bleeding Sumner • The formation of the Republican Party • The Lincoln-Douglas debates • John Brown’s Raid • Uncle Tom's Cabin Briefly describe your chosen event and its significance to the pre-Civil War era. For your second post, select a classmate’s post that identified an event other than the one you identified. Evaluate the significance of that event in relation to the one you initially posted about. Did one event impact the pre-Civil War era more than the other?
