In the years leading up to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, tensions began to rise between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions within the U.S. Congress and across the country. They reached a boiling point after Missouri’s 1819 request for admission to the Union as a slave state, which threatened to upset the delicate balance between slave states and free states. To keep the peace, Congress orchestrated a two-part compromise, granting Missouri’s request but also admitting Maine as a free state. It also passed an amendment that drew an imaginary line across the former Louisiana Territory, establishing a boundary between free and slave regions that remained the law of the land until it was negated by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.

Answer:

the British preferred to use local institutions to control subject populations.

Explanation:

British colonialism was established differently in places that had already established their own institutions, such as African countries. Although these countries already had institutions before the arrival of the English, it was necessary that the British empire dominate these institutions, or to give them up and form new institutions. However, the British empire understood that dominating existing institutions would be something cheaper and more advantageous and that it would establish an efficient dominance, so it was done, that is, unlike other European nations, England decided to use local institutions to control populations subdued.

Why was the ratification of the 3/5ths Compromise so important to the new nation?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The north had more people than the south during this time, so the south saw it as unfair because the north would receive more representatives in the house of representatives than the south, resulting in more votes for the north. So the 3/5 compromise was made to count 3/5 of the slaves so the south could receive more representatives in the house of representatives.

How did periods of isolation followed by contact with other countries affect Japan?
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

it was both good and bad for them. it was bad because they were limited to national imports and exports only. they had to rely on the little resources they had on their islands alone to survive. When they were finally ready to become unisolated and join the rest of the world, they were really far behind on their industrial era. it was good for them because it meant very little conflict with other nations.
