The Fugitive slave law is a law that requires all escaped slave to brought back to their master/owners. The south support this law. This law was create was made so northerners wouldn't steal their slaves.

The Dred Scott case was about a African American slave who the Supreme Court was making a decision to consider a free man or a slave. This case lead to the Civil War by making the north and south fight about Dred Scott freedom.

John Brown's plan was to take slaves to a Virginia building where their was guns and other weapons store. After that he would a slave uprising and a revolution. Brown's plan was not a success no uprising or revolution happen. Later on John Brown was put on trail and was put to death.

After the secession the south formed the confederacy. Which broke apart from the union.

The tension between the states right and the central government power lead to the civil war.
The main reason is that north and south were fighting about the slaves. The north didn't want slaves while the south did want them.
