Answer:
Jewish history is very old and dynamic, tracing back to over 3,000 years.
A common theme in Jewish history has been the persecution that has been suffered by the Jewish people.
The Jewish people have often hold their ancestral homeland: Israel, but they have also been expelled from these lands several times.
Jewish history is also the history of the Jewish diaspora: for centuries, there have been Jews living all over Europe and the Middle East, even in other areas.
Finally, Jewish history also includes the history of the Holocaust, the genocide in which over 5 million Jews were killed during the Second World War.
For these reasons above, Jewish history shapes Jewish culture. It makes the Jewish people cohesive and protective of their own people, because of all the suffering they have been through.
They did it because the Ottoman Empire were suspicious of who wasn’t/ was Turkish or Muslim (something along those lines)
Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise split the Louisiana Territory with the North being free from slavery and the South being allowed to have slavery.
The issue of slavery was a rising concern and with each state entering into the Union the balance of slave and free states was skewing. With a new land mass to be concerned with, the government needed a compromise to deal with new states coming into the Union in an effort to maintain slave v. free states. Missouri was entered as a slave state and Maine entered as a free state. The compromise also set the 36'30 line splitting Louisiana Territory. The compromise would last until 1850.
