On this date in 1821, Missouri entered the Union as the 24th state. It was the first one located entirely west of the Mississippi River.
By 1818, the Missouri Territory, part of the Louisiana Purchase of 1803, had gained enough settlers to qualify for statehood. Its settlers, however, had come mostly from the South and expected it would be a slave state. When a Missouri statehood bill came before the House, Rep. James Tallmadge of New York proposed amending the measure to bar bringing slaves into the new state and providing for the ultimate emancipation of all slaves born in Missouri. The House approved that approach in 1819. But the Senate refused to go along.
In early 1820, a bill to admit Maine passed the House. Alabama had come into the Union as a slave state in 1819. With Alabama's admission, there were an equal number of senators from free and slave states in that body. Since Maine would come in as a free state, proponents of admitting Missouri as a slave state argued that equality would be retained at 12 each by pairing the two.
The Senate then voted to bar slavery in the rest of the Louisiana Purchase north of the southern boundary of Missouri ? except in Missouri. Although the House rejected this compromise, conferees agreed that Missourians could adopt a constitution that permitted slavery.
But the House rebelled anew when a drafted state constitution barred bringing any free blacks into Missouri. The territorial legislature backed down and pledged that nothing in its constitution could be interpreted as abridging the rights of U.S. citizens. (Slaves were not citizens.) That deal held until 1854, when the Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise. In 1861, when other slave states seceded to trigger the Civil War, Missouri chose to remain in the Union.
The answer is false he did it was to end slavery

Answer:
C.) While both the Ottoman Empire and Western European states relied heavily on forced conversions to expand and maintain their empires, the Ottoman Empire remained more religiously tolerant than the Western European empires.
Explanation:
I got this question right on the first try. Here's why I knew it was C. You would need to have some knowledge about the Ottoman Empire's role of religion. I don't know if it says in the passage, so if you do find it, then give me a heads up. Remember, how did the Ottoman Empire treat the minorities? Did they force persecution/conversion to Islam? Well, not really. Although they did develop the devshirme system, it was kinda of a force conversion because the children had to give up their Christian belief, but it was seen as an opportunity. They weren't punished, so answer A is not right. So they did practice religious tolerance. Also the Ottoman Empire tried to expand the empire to make it bigger as well. There wasn't any religious wars carried out the Ottoman Empire, and answer B does not make sense. Where in the passage does it say about those two empires having efforts of doing mass conversions. Look at Source 2. Sorry if this explanation is long, but I hope this helps :)
It would generally be "growth" that focuses on equal opportunities for education, since it is in the best interest of the country in question to have as many educated citizens as possible.
