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

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".

How did Franciso Vazquez de coronado discovery changed the world​
Vladimir79 [104]

Franciso Vazquez de coronado's description of the areas he explored helped create updated maps of the lands.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was a Spain conquistador and explorer. Also, he was the first person to reach the west of America. He always sought to create a new world for himself.

In Spain, the firstborns can have the privilege to inherit their parents' money and status. Since Coronado was the second child he had to seek fortune on his own. In 1535 he reached New Spain and got married to a woman from a wealthy family there.

Thus he inherited her wealth and also he became the military commander to settle disputes between Native Americans and Spaniards. There were rumors spreading the news as native's lands filled with treasures and riches. Thus he wanted to explore the cities in order to attain those treasures.

But he failed to find the treasure but he was the first person from the European countries to find Grand Canyon. Mainly, his exploration over many places and the description regarding the places helped to update the land's map. Also, his Exploration led the way for the future colonization of Spanish in the United States.
