illinois? illinois is a free state. now, mind you, there are what were called transit clause. transit laws permitted slave holders if they had to do her live for a short period of time in illinois to do so without jeopardizing their slaves. but emerson was doing more than a quick pass through illinois while stationed at fort armstrong. even more so, fort snowing. it's in the minnesota territory. what is the minister at territory as a territory covered by? with the statute? >> the northwest ordinance. of 1787. which mandated, of course, that slavery could not exist. in those territories. dred scott's logic is, i was taken into a free state and lived there, not under

that railroad was going to be called the illinois central. he worked with a fellow named steven douglas whose great rivals throughout life in politics to get this done. the illinois legislature passed a massive infrastructure plan and then promptly went bust. it was undercapitalized, the canal had to take some time off because they did not have the money to hire irish laborers to get paid almost nothing to dig it by hand. that was something that had to be done in order to open up chicago, the great lakes and the rest of illinois to the global markets. lincoln saw this early, he campaigned for it and he was fairly successful in convincing people that this should be done. he wanted to put rural farmers and anybody who is not living near a big city or saltwater port on equal footing with everybody else how do you do this? you create transportation routes to infrastructure to get people there. so lincoln was fairly successful as a young assembly man. but what was more important was the introduce this concept based on henry clay's american system

why did the legislature and illinois tolerate this? speak to a becomes a key moment in the history of joe smith and abu. and eventually lead to some of their undoing and that same place. the mormons without going to go to washington d.c. going to go to d.c. the federal government's way to take our side. when they do all will be right again pray when they refuse to get involved the mormons are a little bit elevated in terms they say we are going to hope that illinois is going to be better. but just in case we need to put safeguards at the local city level to protect our rights so this does not happen again. there could not have been a more opportune time and illinois politics. illinois was long a democratic stronghold but the way they're making and roads young whigs such as abraham lincoln writing to prominence. democrats like steven a douglas or also writing into prominence they're not big national name ship but there there in illinois politics. they saw this group of mormons who tended to vote together as a way of essentially protecti
