  1. The Missouri Compromise By: Carlie Gorby Mrs. Roed’s Language Arts 3rd Hour 4-6-12

  2. The Missouri Compromise took place just before the Civil War. The north believed slavery should be banned from the United States and the south believed that slavery should stay and be allowed. The Missouri Compromise was the solution to help the north and south keep peace with slavery… Until it ended.

  3. What is the Missouri Compromise? “The Missouri Compromise calls for Maine to be admitted as a free state and Missouri can be admitted as a slave state… The compromise’s terms will be that slavery is prohibited in the future from an Louisiana Purchase Territory north of Missouri’s southern border” (Davis 50). They admitted Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state so that the Senate would be equal between free and slave states.

  4. Where is the Missouri Compromise line between the North and the South? “The US made an imaginary line in the Louisiana Purchase Territory. The line runs across the 36”30’ latitude line. The line is located and the bottom of Missouri’s border” (www.eNotes.com).

  5. Who made the Missouri Compromise? “Henry Clay, a leading Congressmen played the role in making the Missouri Compromise. He was the one who brought the idea to Congress” (www.ushistory.org).

  6. What were some reactions to the Compromise? “The Missouri Compromise kept the Union together for a little bit, but no one was very happy. In the North, Congressmen who voted to accept Missouri as a slave state were called traitors. In the south, slaveholders deeply resented the ban on slavery” (Hart 288).

  7. How did the Missouri Compromise end? “A slave who once lived in the South moved to the North with his master one day. He realized that he was above the Missouri Compromise’s line and should be able to be a free man. So.. He went to the Supreme Court and tried to sue for his free rights. The court stated that Congress had no power to eliminate the expansion of slavery, therefore the Missouri Compromise had always been unconstitutional” ( Jordan 33).
