Kansas-Nebraska Act
Democrat Stephan A. Douglas has proposed the Kansas-Nebraska Act to introduce the two territories of Kansas and Nebraska and establish a transcontinental railroad. As fellow Democrats, we fully support his plan. The railroads will allow you to transport you goods across the country, benefitting your economic success. Furthermore, when the plan passes, the Missouri Compromise, which now prevents us from gaining more slave states, will be declared void. The question of whether they will be free or slave states will be decided by popular sovereignty, your votes. This is not only an opportunity for you to maximize your profits with more land and slaves but also exercise your say in politics.
Therefore, supporting Douglas' Kansas-Nebraska Act is essential to maintaining the democratic values of our country. If we do not get enough votes, Kansas and Nebraska will become free states and you will lose a great opportunity of fortune. We have fought for our westward expansion. We fought to gain New Mexico and California. And now we will succeed in making Kansas and Nebraska into slave states. Don't let your efforts go to waste, this is your country, so make the decision that will let you reap the most benefits from your hard work.
