History

The Compromise of 1850 was an effort to preserve the balance between slave states and free states and keep the union together in the United States.

The Compromise of 1850 was passed after an attempt to have all new territories be non-slave states.  In 1846, Congressman David Wilmot of Pennsylvania introduced an amendment to an appropriations bill, stipulating  that any territory gained from Mexico (after winning war vs. Mexico) would be free, not allowing slavery.  [Don't think of Wilmot as an abolitionist, though.  He wanted new territories to be free of blacks, preferring whites-only territories.]   Wilmot's amendment passed in the House of Representatives, but was unable to get approval in the Senate.  The Compromise of 1850, a package of five bills passed by Congress in September of that year, sought to accommodate some of the issues both South and North were debating  during those years.  The balance between slave states and free states continued to be an issue.

What effect did European contact have on native populations? Speak to good/bad implications​
Tanzania [10]
First, few Europeans considered Native Americans to be their equals, because of differences in religion, agricultural practice, housing, dress, and other characteristics, Europeans considered Native Americans to be inferior. Secondly, Europeans were confused when Native Americans continued to use land that they thought they had purchased to own forever. Native Americans also tended to have a more communal approach to property and trade. This eventually lead to the colonization that ruptured many ecosystems, bringing in new organisms while eliminating others. The Europeans brought many diseases with them, which decimated Native American populations.

The Texas fight for independence was led by Sam Houston.<br> True<br> False
sergij07 [2.7K]
In general, yes, it is true that the Texas fight for independence was led by Sam Houston. But the question is a bit misleading because his greatest achievement was actually not only taking Texas from Mexico, but bringing it into the United States.
