Last two days of class 11/26 and 11/27

Yesterday, on Monday November 26 we talked about Bloody Kansas and how Kansas developed the nickname. Kansas was a huge state when deciding whether it would be a slave state or not because with that state being either one, it would break the even amount between the two different types of states. It became a popular sovereignty state and both sides basically broke out in violence between each other, eventually causing Kansas to become "Bloody Kansas." And today in class we discussed whether a slave really was a person or not. Of course physically they are obviously a person but society wise they really came down to only being property. people are granted the rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. A slave really doesn't have much of those rights at all. So the conclusion really was that back then slaves couldn't be considered people.
