ok, the library is out of the question because the walk alone is over 40 minutes and it's Snowing/icing here on the east coast
Adding on to your list:
Compromise of 1850 – proposed popular sovereignty (therefore nullifying the Missouri Compromise line; abolitionists view the Fugitive Slave Act as a violation of American rights.
Dred Scott Decision – struggle between popular sovereignty (slavery can be made illegal or illegal) or Dred Scott ruling (slavery legal everywhere)
Failure of the Crittenden Compromise
Immediate Causes
Election of Lincoln -> Succession of Southen States -> Attack on Fort Sumter
Hope this helps!

Moralists and Modernizers: America’s Pre-Civil War Reformers $8.55 The decades before the Civil War saw the first secular efforts in history to remake society through reform. Reformers launched unprecedented campaigns reform criminals and prostitutes, to educate the deaf and the blind, guarantee women’s rights, and abolish slavery. Our modern systems of free public schools, prisons, and hospitals for the mentally ill are all legacies of this era. Moralists and Modernizers tells the fascinating story of America’s first age of reform — combining incisive portraits of leading reformers and movements with perceptive analysis of religion, politics, and society. Arguing that the reform impulse grew out of the era’s peculiar mix of fear and hope, Steven Mintz shows that reform arose not only from fears of social disorder, family fragmentation, and widening class divisions, but also from a millennialist sense of possibility rooted in new religious and philosophical ideas. He then examines three distinct responses to pre-Civil War America’s pressing social problems. Moral reform sought to create a Christian moral order using moral suasion. Social reform combatted poverty, crime, and ignorance through new institutions offering non-authoritarian forms of social control. Radical reform sought to regenerate American society by eliminating fundamental sources of inequality such as slavery and racial and sexual discrimination. In an epilogue, Mintz fits antebellum reform into the larger context of America’s liberal tradition. Mintz concludes that America’s pre-Civil War reformers were at once moral critics and cultural modernizers. As exponents of a distinctly modern set of values, reformers attacked outmoded customs, smoothed the transition from a preindustrial to an industrial order, and devised modern bureaucratic systems of criminal justice, public education, and social welfare. The first comprehensive account antebellum reform to appear in twenty years, Moralists and Modernizers is a rich and rewarding work of synthesis and interpretation which draws upon the most recent historical research. "This book charts a middle ground between those who regard reform as a form of class-based social control and those who stress reformers’ benevolent intentions. It emphasizes the duality of antebellum reform, which blended impulses toward social and moral uplift with impulses to impose new codes of personal conduct, shape character, and construct new institutions of social control." — from Moralists and Modernizers |
