The Missouri Compromise opened most of the Louisiana Purchase territory to slavery.

History

Answer:  FALSE

If you look at a map of the Louisiana Purchase, a line across the southern border of Missouri was set, with no slavery allowed north of that line, except for the state of Missouri itself.  So the amount of Louisiana Purchase territory established for free states was greater in land mass than the amount of that territory set to allow slavery.

The Louisiana Purchase territories were acquired from France in 1803.   Debates over the future of new states in that region continued for the next decades.  Missouri was a part of what was acquired in the Louisiana Purchase.  In 1820, when Missouri was ready to apply for statehood, a compromise was reached in Congress that established a plan for slave vs. free regions within the overall Louisiana Purchase regions.  The Missouri Compromise admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added as a free state at the same time, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal.  It also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.

No, it is false that the Missouri Compromise opened most of the Louisiana Purchase territory to slavery, since in fact it was more "anti-slavery" than it was "pro-slavery".

What prevented roosevelt from responding to british appeals for help in 1940?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
FDR was limited in his ability to respond to Britain's call for help in 1940 due to the Neutrality Acts passed by Congress in the 1930's.

The Neutrality Acts consisted of three different laws, but all of them were based around the idea of avoiding foreign wars at all costs. The following are just some conditions of this acts passed by Congress:

1) The US government was forbidden to sell arms to countries involved in war.
2) Forbid American ships from entering war zones.
3) Barred Americans from traveling on ships  that would be considered hostile.
4) Prevented American commercial ships from being armed.

All of these conditions show America's dedication to staying out of foreign affairs during this time period.

Question 10 (3 points) The owner of a South African mining company wants to make more money from selling diamonds. He decides to
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

He wants to invest in equipment to mine more diamonds to sell.

Explanation:

It makes more sense to me, personally, but if he wanted to sell more diamonds which is lots of money he could get more equipment to be better efficient. If he sold equipment as well he'd be putting himself out of business by giving his customers the chance to get diamonds themselves. Hope this helps :)
