Battle Hymn of the Republic (Union) -Julia Ward Howe, 1861 Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord, He hath trampled out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. He hath loosed the fatefu 8 l lightning of his terrible swift sword. His truth is marching on. Glory, glory halleluja. Glory, glory halleluja, his truth is marching on. **During the early days of the Civil War, Howe heard Union soldiers singing John Brown's Body. The melody stayed with her and she wrote the words to this song in 1861.
Dixie (Confederacy) -Daniel D. Emmet, 1859 I wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten, look away, Dixieland. In Dixieland where I was born in, early on one frosty mornin', look away, Dixieland. Then I wish I was in Dixie, hooray. In Dixieland I'll take my stand, to live and die in Dixie. Away, away, away down south in Dixie. ***This song was originally written for a traveling minstrel show. It became popular with Confederate troops during the Civil War.

DRED SCOTT DECISION – Roger b. Taney
Dred scott decision Born a slave in Virginia (1800) Lived in free and slave states When his master died in 1843 his wife, Harriet, convinced him to file suit in Missouri courts, arguing for freedom Supreme Court: Scott remains a slave Slaves are not citizens and have no rights Citizens can have slaves in any states; no laws by congress can prevent this This essentially un-does all compromise up to that point!!!
5 TH AMENDMENT (CITED BY JOHN C. CALHOUN) No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Lincoln-Douglas debates Ran against one another senator and later for president 7 debates between Aug. 21 -Oct. 15, 1858 Douglas: “there was a physical difference between the white and black races that would forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality” Lincoln: said blacks did have an “equal” right to freedom and the fruits of their labor
Freeport doctrine Whatever the Supreme Court said about slavery, it couldn’t exist anywhere unless supported by local police regulations, according to Douglas (Lincoln had asked question regarding how Douglas would reconcile the notion of popular sovereignty given the Dred Scott ruling that citizens had the right to carry slaves into any territory)
