John Magee | Forcing Slavery down the Throat of a Freesoiler, 1856
The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act deepened the conflict over slavery. The act repealed the Missouri Compromise and allowed voters in Kansas and Nebraska to decide whether their territories would enter the Union as free or slave states. Advocates and opponents of slavery poured into Kansas, leading to open violence throughout the state. The following antislavery cartoon shows presidential candidate James Buchanan and Democratic senator Lewis Cass holding down a free-soiler while Franklin Pierce and Stephen Douglas force a black man down his throat.
