Question

In 1854 Stephen A. Douglas introduced this to the Senate, to allow states to enter the Union with or without slavery.

This was an agreement that California would be admitted to the Union, the slave trade in the District of Columbia would be restricted, and the Fugitive Slave Law would be enforced.

This is the political loyalty to one's own region of the country over the entire country. This was a major factor leading up to the Civil War.

This abolitionist was executed in 1859 after leading a failed attempt at armed slave insurrection at Harper's Ferry, Virginia.
