In the years leading up to the Civil War, several key events strengthened the antislavery movement. The publication of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in 1852 galvanized public opinion against slavery by humanizing the plight of enslaved individuals. The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, which allowed for the expansion of slavery into new territories, led to violent conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas," highlighting the moral and political crisis surrounding the issue. Additionally, the Dred Scott decision in 1857, which denied citizenship and legal rights to African Americans, further inflamed tensions and rallied abolitionists to the cause.
