Who benefited from the missouri compromise

2 answers:

It was, as the title states, a compromise; neither side gained a clear or decisive advantage. The legislation is credited with maintaining a truce between the North and South for another 30 years, postponing the splintering of the Union that came with the Civil War. It maintained the delicate balance between slave and free states in Congress by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maryland as a free state. If there was any imbalance to the compromise, it might be in the fact that it prohibited the establishment of slavery in the remaining Louisiana Purchase territory that was North of the 36•30' parallel -- because that encompassed the largest portion of the remaining unsettled land in the Purchase.
(All of this compromising was repealed via the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 and by the Dred Scott case that declared the Missouri Compromise to be unconstitutional, saying Congress did not have the authority to ban slavery in the territories.)

What was missing from the 100 settlers of jamestown as they disembarked?

qaws [65]

The correct answer is women.

The initially settling of Jamestown consisted of roughly 100 men who saw the ability to colonize in the New World as a means to increase their personal wealth. These men went to the New World in search of gold and other resources that would allow them to be rich. Along with this, men were needed in order to perform the hard manual labor needed to build homes and the protection necessary to keep the colonists from being killed by Native Americans.

At this time, women rarely did this type of manual labor due to the social norms of the era. This helps to understand why women were absent from this trip.
