ITT: Zig Forums in 1855

Nor shall the abolitionist hollerer ever compel us to give up our slaves. King Cotton shall last a thousand years!

>Bleeding Kansas
The violence has escalated

Let's get out there and drive out those slaveholding filth with fire and rope!

Go down to the Devil, negro-lover.

>tfw murdered by Mormons in a staged Indian attack while travelling West

>While most settlers in Kansas were simply pioneers looking for a new land to conquer, groups of paid agitators were sent there both by abolitionist organizations in the North and by wealthy Southerners seeking to expand slavery.

>Since the Mexican cession had proved largely worthless for plantation agriculture (it was not as yet foreseen that the Central Valley of California would one day be prime cotton land), the desperation of the South for more slave states was growing steadily worse. The prairies of Kansas were hardly prime land for growing cotton, but things had escalated to the point where it no longer seemed to matter. Desperate Southerners, eager to add yet one more slave state to the union, were determined to make Kansas a slave state anyway even if slavery couldn't viably exist there.

>That aside, slaves were expensive and what fool would risk taking them to an unstable place where bullets were flying? The 1860 US Census found that of 107k persons in Kansas, two were slaves and the Nebraska Territory had 15 of them. The whole conflict was said to "revolve around an imaginary Negro in an impossible place."

Come one, come all and ignore the Know-Nothing rascals in the OP pic.

Friedrich Wilhelm is kinda whacky though, we need the "Kartätschenprinz" Wilhelm, also dubbed "Schlächtermeister Prinz von Preußen" for his role in the revolution 7 years ago. He just needs a good Prussian minister, but I'm not sure if we have one...

Stop mailing copies of this vile propaganda screed to South Carolina, you sons of whores.

Help I am being oppressed!

Prussia for a decade after the 1848 revolutions was suffocated under a repressive, ultra-reactionary regime as the emperor became surrounded by ultra-conservative ministers who preached the virtues of absolute monarchy and the Church. He finally had a stroke and became an invalid in his final years.

yeah I kinda know the feeling brah

Woah bro, can you look into the future? He's not dead yet. Also, he's not Emperor (unless you're revolutionary scum) but King of Prussia.

Yes indeed is great feeling to have teacher switch you in school classroom for speaking Polish in your own country.

I wish the government would take action and raise an army to march on their nest of depravity out in Utah and hang all the polygamist rats from the nearest tree. That treacherous scum Brigham Young, have you heard the stories about his harems of 12 year old girls and the vile lusts he pours out upon them?

>The Kansas-Nebraska Act in one fell swoop shattered the careful balances erected by the Missouri Compromise 34 years earlier, and by the 1850 compromise four years earlier. The Democrat Party would retain control of the White House in the 1856 elections, but it would be the last time they succeeded in electing a president for the next three decades.

>The biggest lasting result of the act was the creation of the Republican Party in the upper Midwest in 1854, which gathered under its tent a mottle of ex-Whigs, disillusioned Democrats, free soilers, abolitionists, and generally anyone opposed to the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Within two years, it would elect a Speaker of the House and come close to gaining the presidency. It would also never be allowed south of the Mason-Dixon Line, denounced as "a putrid, stinking, nigger-stealing abolitionist party."

Sorry about how two of your sons got drafted into the Russian army and shot dead down there in Sevastopol. C'est la vie.

My brother just purchased his first slaves so I told him that if I ever see him again I would probably murder him.

I'm not anti-Irish or anti-German, I would be fine with them if they weren't Catholic

Here, we give the negro free home, food, medical attention, and shelter. All his needs are provided for and he is regarded as a member of his master's family. Up there, in the North, the negro roams from menial job to menial job, unloved and unwanted by those who write loud-mouthed pamphlets in his defense. He ends his days in the gutter next to a bottle of gin, without a roof over his head, without a pension to sustain him in his old age, with only old newspapers which decry the Southern states as the Devil's workshop to cover himself against the winter snows.

what a shitshow...

sons of whores is rich coming from a negress-fornicating slaver

Euros be like "springtime of the peoples!" and then just die.

Oh you want to ban slavery do you? Who's going to pick your crops if you free them?! HMMMMM?!

My cousin Wlodimir resides in Galicia and hails Franz Josef as his emperor. I reside in Warsaw and hail Alexander II as my emperor. No matter where I reside, it is banned to publish books in Polish. My brother distributed pamphlets for an underground independence movement and was arrested by Russian police. he taken off east and no one knows whatever became of him. likely mining gold in Siberian slave camp.

My emperor… i kneel

Fucking Americans.
They just had to come and ruin my piracy business.
Since when did we allow foreigners to come down here whenever they please?
Hopefully this doesn't set a precedent.

These men are all talk. What we need is action—action!

Yes I'm sure you read that completely factual account in Horace Greenley's rags, no? He is an honorable fellow who does not lie to sell papers, not at all.

That was 50 years ago, it may be time to get over it, Farouk.

I HAVE A FAMILY AND 8 CONCUBINES TO FEED.
Why'd you stop our slave trade when you're still dealing in slaves?
damn hypocrites give me my ship back i wanna raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaid.

And so the great days of the California Gold Rush began to wind down, as by mid-decade it had become clear that a real mining business needed to take the place of the gold-scraping '49er. Mining corporations arrived out west with proper machine-driven equipment to extract the precious yellow metal from the Earth.

Sorry, Bavarians are catholics after all. Bavaria is a shithole so they come to your country. People from the protestant Hamburg are rich as fuck and won't leave, so you won't get any protestants.

Technically the US overseas slave trade was banned since 1808 even if Southern scum will still keep trying from time to time to smuggle them in anyway.

Shut up or you're gonna end up like Algeria

>People from the protestant Hamburg are rich as fuck and won't leave, so you won't get any protestants
Of course remember that a lot of German immigrants to the US were also political refugees from 1848 or they wanted to get out of conscription in the Prussian army. They would form a major part of the abolitionist cause.

that's not putting food on MY table
shut up i'm not scared of you, what are you gonna do? Stage a border incident and invade?
That'd mess with the balance of powers and the Anglos and the Russians will intervene.

A fine read, I must say. I never really thought that King Cotton was this evil. Now I would not hesistant to take up a musket and shoot a few of the devils down south.
