Chapter 85: The House rejects the Toombs bill and accepts the Topeka Constitution. 

A surprising bill from Robert Toombs proposes a Pop Sov do-over election in Kansas monitored by the military, and it passes the Senate by a 33-12 margin.

The House rejects the Senate measure and, in a close vote, passes a resolution calling for the immediate admission of Kansas as a Free State under the Topeka Constitution.

Senator Douglas overturns the House solution and lobbies in favor of Toombs’ plan which is opposed by Republicans.
