What was the solution to the debate over the slave status of new territories in the Kansas-Nebraska Act?

English

Answer: Popular Sovereignty

Explanation:

Prior to the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the slave status of a new territory would be decided by the Missouri Compromise which based the state's slave status on geographical location as it prohibited slavery in states to the North of the 36°30′ parallel (excluding Missouri).

In 1854 however, a bill that would later be known as the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced to Congress by Sen. Stephen A. Douglas who hoped to gain support from Southern politicians for a state to be established on land gained from the Louisiana purchase.

The bill called for the status of a state to be decided by Popular Sovereignty which essentially meant that the people of the state would decide whether or not they wanted to be a free state instead of Congress as had previously been the case.

With this act therefore, the new territories would decide their status by themselves.

Write an acrostic poem that describe the words “embark” and “profanity”.
sp2606 [1]

I felt the hot on my skin

Where is this place

End my thirst

Next stop

There, somewhere, anywhere

Oh, how my lungs cry

Need, I need water

And there is none!

Just leave me on my way

On foot I go

Under fallen branches

Running through the woods

Nearly losing a few shoes

Ever near the end

Yet, so far away

At last I find a place

Not quite empty

Dear, and precious liquid

Finding comfort at last

On this wretched trip

Understand my suffering

Never in my life

Did I feel like this

So alive, free

Out there in the world

Most definitely

Everything had turned out okay

Wonder with me

Over this imaginary place

Remember that it does not exist

Don't be fooled by how it looks

See, it is a mask of lies,

Did you feel safe here

In this new place

Remove all doubt

That in here

You will not be hurt,

Once upon a time

Before I knew better

Some of this felt real

Common to me

Even the lies meant something to me

Now I know

Everyone should know

All I need is for people to listen

Not later,

Do you hear me yet?

Really,

Even the madmen think I am crazy

View me as what you will

One day

Later within the future

Thank me, you will,

It's better to laugh

Nothing ever sounded so silly

Go and tell of my theories,

Because I wont,

Use your words wisely,

This is my warning to you

News spreads quickly

On the wings of you demonic angels

To every corner of the earth

Everything is told

Very few is secret

Each time the news is taken in

Not one, but me, believes it

When shall you learn

Of the realms of reality

Right now, never seems propable

There is so much you dont want to hear

How do you live this way

No more, you tire me,

Out of my head,

This debate

I cannot take

Now go, leave me to my thoughts

Give my rest, I did my best.
