A map of the proposed boundary between the new territories of Kansas and Nebraska, prepared for the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, and published in the Congressonal Record. 'The Kansas-Nebraska Act' was one of the milestones en route to the American Civil War: when the territories were opened up for settlement it was decided to give them a free vote about whether to allow slavery or not. Agitators for both sides poured in, including the infamous John Brown and his sons, who murdered five pro-slavery farmers with a broadsword. The dispute also split the traditional political parties, the Democrats & Whigs, with the dissenters turning to the naisant Republicans. The major political camps were now divided geographically, Republicans for the North and Democrats for the south.

One of the 24 sections of a map of the United Sates of Nother America. A British separately issued map of the United States up to the Rockies by Theodor Ettling. Ettling was a Dutch draughtsman, engraver and lithographer who worked first in Amsterdam, later moving to London where he produced maps for some of the British papers of the mid-nineteenth century. This map was published by the Weekly Dispatch, which issued an atlas in 1858 with maps by Ettling. Ettling seems to have made quite a study of North America, issuing a number of fine examples such as this large folding map. Detail is copious and precisely delineated in a typically neat British style. Roads, towns, rivers, lakes, and topographically are all accurately and clearly rendered. The map shows the United States as it was situated at the beginning of the Civil War, includes the Bahamas and part of Cuba.
