Very few reflections of slaves regarding this period have made it to the common press.

We can guess that some felt a period of hope at the election of Mr. Lincoln, but were distressed or sorrowful when the states seceded. It is hard to be sure.

This compromise included provisions such as the admission of California as a free state and the strengthening of the Fugitive Slave Act, which appeased southern concerns about slavery.

The desire to maintain political power and influence within the federal government also played a significant role in their restraint.

Why did north and south split apart during the civil war?

The North and South split apart during the Civil War primarily due to deep-seated economic, social, and political differences, particularly regarding slavery. The Northern states favored industrialization and a free labor system, while the Southern states relied heavily on an agricultural economy supported by slave labor. Disputes over states' rights and the expansion of slavery into new territories further exacerbated tensions, ultimately leading to the Southern states seceding from the Union in 1861. These conflicts culminated in the outbreak of the Civil War.
