From Sectionalism to Secession
Note that Frederick Douglass (2 s's) and Stephen Douglas (one s) are two very different people! Don't confuse them.
Note also that the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 was one of the provisions of the Compromise of 1850 - the 8th edition of Out of Many does not make this clear.
