4th Quarter!!

Weekely Assignment #1 (4th Quarter #1) Due Friday at Midnight.

Missouri Compromise Review:

The Northern states and the Southern states argued about the Missouri Territory and whether it would come into the Union as a Free State or a Slave State.  Why did that matter??  Because the Seanat was balanced (11 states each) and whomever got Missouri would control the laws made in the Seanate.  This became a heated argument, until Maine territory wanted to become a state....they came to a compromise:

The Missouri Compromise:
1)  Missouri becomes a Slave State
2)  Maine becomes a Free State
3)  Created the 3630 line that separated territory into free and slave.  North of the line would enter as free states, south would enter as slave states...hopefully no more arguing over territory!!
