At that point, some states recognized slavery as immoral. If Missouri had been admitted as a slave state, the pro-slave states would have taken majority in Congress.]]> 2018-02-22 17:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/s27089259/51sddp6o47f9/wish/234359606 s27089259 https://padlet.com/s27089259/51sddp6o47f9/wish/234359658 The solution Congress came up with was that Missouri would be admitted to the nation as a slave state.

He believed that two solar eclipses were instructions from God to lead this rebellion. They were stopped two days later by the militia. During the two days that Turner and about 70 other cohorts were running rampant, they are suspected to have killed 60 white people.

The bad thing was that it may have divided the nation even more due to the unaddressed issue of the dividing of slave and free states.
