Excerpt from Dedication of Monuments: Erected by the State of Iowa; Commemorating the Death, Suffering and Valor of Her Soldiers on the Battlefields of Vicksburg, Lookout Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Shiloh, and in the Confederate Prison at Andersonville

Slavery had become a national and serious issue when Henry Clay devised the Missouri compromise in 1820.

Before California was admitted in 1850 the great leaders of the nation, Webster and Calhoun, Clay and Hayne, Chase and Toombs, Seward and Hunter, Sumner and Jefferson Davis, all had foreseen the impending struggle, the irrepressible conflict, and were scanning the horizon of the future with unrest and concern.

Slavery had divided and antagonized the American people before Stephen A. Douglas invented the doctrine of popular sovereignty in 1854, to settle the kansas-nebraska imbroglio regarding the extension of slavery.
