Except that those three events represented not grievance of oppressed peoples, but rather the incessant power grabs by the southern slavers. In each case the south arguably won, although "winning" had the unintended consequence of each act laying the groundwork for the next and ultimately resulting in Bleeding Kansas and the WBTS.
