Congress reacted to the growing conflict over slavery through a series of contentious legislative measures and compromises, such as the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850. These efforts aimed to maintain a balance between free and slave states but ultimately highlighted the deep divisions within the nation. The establishment of the Fugitive Slave Act intensified tensions, leading to increased resistance from abolitionists and further polarization of public opinion. Ultimately, Congress's attempts to mediate the issue failed to prevent the escalating conflict that would lead to the Civil War.

The Stamp Act Congress was formed in October 1765 after the British government passed another tax on the Colonists. The Congress was formed to determine how to react.
Northerners reacted with outrage and indignation to the beating of Senator Charles Sumner by Congressman Preston Brooks in 1856. Many viewed the attack as a brutal assault on free speech and a symbol of the increasing violence surrounding the slavery debate. Anti-slavery advocates rallied around Sumner, further galvanizing anti-slavery sentiment in the North and deepening the sectional divide. His injury and subsequent absence from the Senate became a rallying point for those opposed to the expansion of slavery.
Northerners had mixed reactions to John Brown's death. Many abolitionists viewed him as a martyr for the anti-slavery cause, praising his courage and commitment to fighting against slavery. However, some moderates and conservatives were alarmed by his violent methods, fearing that his actions could incite further conflict and division. Overall, Brown's execution intensified the national debate over slavery and contributed to the growing tensions leading up to the Civil War.
