Why did the Dred Scott Decision end all compromes?
It voided all the previous compromises, because it declared slavery to be legal in every state of the Union. They did try one more compromise after Lincoln was elected, but Lincoln rejected it because it would have allowed new slave-states.
Why did Louisiana secede from the union during the Civil War?
Because it was one of the Deep South states that were most strongly identified with slavery, and it seceded before the war. It was the decision of the four slave-states of the Upper South to join the Confederacy that actually started the war.
Why was the arrival of escaped slaves at Fort Monroe a conundrum for Major General Benjamin Butler?
At the time, early in the war, there was no stated policy from the President or any high level of government, concerning escaped slaves, as to whether they should be given refuge in the north, or returned to their owners, or held as prisoners, or conscripted into the army, or whatever. Major General Butler had to make a decision that really should have been made at a higher level than his. Nonetheless, he made the right decision, and it worked out very well.
