The Missouri compromise had the implementation of a line at the 30'36 line of latitude from the Mississippi river west towards the border of Spanish territory. Those on the top side of the line would then be considered free states, and those below would be considered slave states.
- This contributed to the civil war by trying to "solve" the problem of there being too many slave/free states then the other. However, this just separates the two even more and whenever another state joined the other side would become upset due to the unbalance.]]> 2022-05-11 12:08:00 UTC https://padlet.com/aavenda85/gcbysf8dbgw0juxf/wish/2179292173 aavenda85 https://padlet.com/aavenda85/gcbysf8dbgw0juxf/wish/2179292515 - This compromise was implemented in order to prevent the country from tearing each other up. The goal of the compromise was to deal with the issue of slavery in the new states we had acquired from Mexico.

- The Fugitive Slave Act had upset the Northerners greatly as this would cause Southerners to come up to the North and search for slaves bringing slavery there as well. As they would also kidnap those walking around minding their business and sell them off. ]]> 2022-05-11 12:08:16 UTC https://padlet.com/aavenda85/gcbysf8dbgw0juxf/wish/2179292515 aavenda85 https://padlet.com/aavenda85/gcbysf8dbgw0juxf/wish/2179293112 - Wilmot Proviso proposed an important proposal to congress which would prevent the spread of slavery. However, this proposal would be denied as it was thought that this was not his idea.

Obviously the southerners did not like that as they try to keep their slaves and slavery as a whole.]]> 2022-05-11 12:08:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aavenda85/gcbysf8dbgw0juxf/wish/2179293112 aavenda85 https://padlet.com/aavenda85/gcbysf8dbgw0juxf/wish/2179294112 - Uncle Tom's Cabin is a novel made by Harriet Beecher Stowe, published in 1852 about abolishing slavery.
