Eighth Grade Work on Missouri Compromise

Good work today on reading and interpreting the short documents on Texas Independence. We'll be doing more work of this kind this semester.

Today, you read page 536 in the textbook on Henry Clay's attempt to settle the slavery question and admit Missouri into the Union. Remember that to do this, Maine was admitted as a free state (to preserve the balance) and the line formed by Missouri's southern border became the determining line in the future for which new states would allow slavery and which ones would not. Then in class you downloaded this pdf here You'll find this interactive map useful in answering the questions. When you have completed it, drop it into your student assignment folder.
