However, taking ones person life and taking their liberties when they have violated no ones elses is evil and violated the very cannon of a free society

So you would have agreed with Lincoln that the Kansas Nebraska Act was wrong. And you would have agreed with the abolitionists that the Congress should exercise its constitutional power to abolish slavery in the Federal district? And if certain southern politicos walked out on the job in response to these sensible, morally correct measures, you would have advocated their being sanctioned. Right?

Seeing as I hadn't read it since my history studies in High School, so I just reread it, Yes, abosoutly, the Kansas Nebraska Act was unconstitutional.

Could slavery be abolished in the Federal District...that is an interesting question. However, I would have to say yes, if the congress approved it. However, the federal government has no jurisdiction for sanctioning the ambassodors from the states. Their state legislatures could reassign new ones, but is not the job of the Federal Government.
