Do you think that the Missouri Compromise bought the nation needed time to deal with the issue of slavery? Or do you think, like

Thomas Jefferson, that it was as alarming as a “fire bell in the night”? Answer the question in an essay, with a thesis statement and supporting evidence for your point of view.

Answer:

In 1819, a time of serious economic problems, President Monroe was faced with another crisis. Missouri was the first state to be carved out of land acquired through the Louisiana Purchase, which Monroe had helped negotiate in 1803. It was on the verge of being admitted to the Union at a time when there were 22 states. Eleven states allowed slavery and 11 did not. There was an argument in the U.S. Congress about whether Missouri should or should not allow slavery.

In what came to be known as the Missouri Compromise, the Senate and House of Representatives worked out a deal that allowed Massachusetts' northernmost counties to apply for admission to the Union as a nonslave state called Maine while Missouri would be admitted as a slave state.

With the admission of Missouri and Maine to the Union, the number of slave states and nonslave states remained equal at 12 each, which prevented the South from having more representation in the Senate (which has two senators from each state), than the North. In addition, slavery would be forbidden north of the latitude line that runs along the southern Missouri border for the remaining Louisiana Territory. Monroe signed Congress's bill reflecting the Compromise on March 6, 1820.Some New Englanders reacted angrily to the idea of Missouri being added to the Union as a slave state. They were proud of their work ethic as inhabitants of a state based on free labor and, as expressed in the poem shown here, thought of Southern slave owners as lazy. In the end, the Missouri Compromise led to the creation of a total of nine new states that would never allow slavery (out of a total of 14 states, or parts of states, that were carved out of land acquired through the Louisiana Purchase). Which states, or parts of states, were created out of land acquired through the Louisiana Purchase?

A brainlist would be nice :)

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Explanation:

I don't think it's possible to make a bad speech about 9/11. I married an American who was at home getting ready to go to work when it happened. We don't watch television. We're both too busy. But we have one. I phoned home at somewhere around 8:00 or 9:00 and told her she could be a little late, but she had to turn on the TV. She didn't want to do but I insisted. So she did it.  I saw her an hour later. There were streak marks coming away from her eyes.

She didn't say much. She just said "Who would want to do that? Why did they do it?"

That's basically all she had to say.

President Bush was saying much the same thing. In general that's the way most people responded. There was shock and there were tears. The indignation and anger came later.  But for a bit, everybody was a New Yorker trying to make out what happened. Trying to sympathize.

Just trying to feel the horror that befell them.
