During the 1840s, abolitionism entered mainstream American life. With the publication of anti-slavery newspapers like North Star and political activism especially amongst religious women in the northeast, abolishing slavery became an important topic in politics. Laws such as The Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 both dealt with issues of slavery/anti-slavery, and slavery/anti-slavery sentiments bred the new political party, the Republican party.
