Hi there!
Your answer would be "There would need to be an equal number of free and slave states."
The Constitution prescribes that the Senate be composed of two senators from each State. There would need to be 25 slave states and 25 free states for there to be an equal number of senators from free states and slave states.
Answer:
England began imposing taxes on the colonists to pay off debts.
Explanation:
England was victorious during the French and Indian Wars, and obtained several territories of what used to be New France.
However, the victory in the war came at a great expense, and the British crown was essentially bankrupt. For this reason, the monarch decided to levy new taxes on the American Colonies, some of those, very expensive and arbitrary, like the stamp tax.
This angered the American colonists, who demanded no taxation without representation in the British Parliament, and was one of the leading events of the American Revolutionary War.
There are of course several things that President Lincoln risked if he chosed not to resupply Fort Sumter, but the greatest was that he would lose the respect of his Northern allies.
There are many moral standings and ideals that existed in the last that are completely at odds with what we think today. Or there were ideas on face and science that are just completely strange in comparison with today's ideas. Primary resources don't show a complete picture, because there are always gaps that need to be filled along the way. For example, a lot of primary sources and writing for Viking cultures were written by Christian writers, so it doesn't offered a clear perspective on the pagan side.
