Your assistance is greatly appreciated. Regarding the Missouri Compromise, what geographic features of the West might have had a
n impact on the spread of slavery? Hint: Think about the climate of the West and how it compares to the climate of the East and South. If you need more information, consult an atlas or a reliable Internet resource.
In the west was what would be Texas, a place with great potential for the expansion of slavery. Texas had two fertile prairies, the Blackland Prairie and the Grand Prairie. Both of these prairies allowed for the successful growth of cotton plantations and therefore, slavery.
