This week: The Pacific Railroad bill is dead; a women's abolitionist group celebrates 25 years; William Seward talks about Buchanan's $30 million bid to purchase Cuba; John Doy & his freedom seekers are captured; a Republican thinking about 1860 election & what is needed to win; letter of a slave trader; Indiana fights over US Senate representation; opium, the poor child's nurse; death of the first American scientific historian.
As always, I invite you to join me each week (Tuesday) as I spotlight people & events that eventually lead us into the four-year battle. If you'd like to start at the beginning, there is a playlist of all recap videos to-date, starting with January 1, 1859.
