  6. Western ExpansionThe Missouri Compromise(attempts to settle issue in territories) • 1st territory West of Mississippi asked to join the U.S. as a slave state • This would make more slave states than free states (political power) • Missouri would join as a slave state AND Maine would join as a free state. • Imaginary line would be drawn through the rest of the Louisiana territory -36’30

Federal POWER Northern Politicians had gained control of Federal Government Southern States argue they have NO say in the Federal government Compromise isDebated - Fought

  14. Laws passed by U.S. states in the North to counter the Fugitive Slave Acts. Some states enacted laws giving escaped slaves the right to jury trials on appeal. Some assured fugitives the right of jury trial and provided them with attorneys. Other states forbade state authorities to capture and return fugitives. After the Compromise of 1850, most Northern states enacted further guarantees of jury trials and punishment for illegal seizure. These laws were cited by proslavery interests as assaults on states' rights and as justification for secession. • Personal Liberty Laws (nullification) • Declare Fugitive Slave Law Unconstitutional • Underground Railroad • Harriett Tubman 19 trips – 300 slaves • Secret Network of Free African-Americans and White Abolitionists

  15. The Underground Railroad

  16. Although the Mason-Dixon line is most commonly associated with the division between the northern and southern (free and slave, respectively) states during the 1800s and American Civil War-era, the line was delineated in the mid-1700s to settle a property dispute. in 1750 that the boundary between southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland should lie 15 miles south of Philadelphia. October 9, 1767, almost four years after Mason & Dixon began their surveying, the 233 mile-long Mason-Dixon line had (almost) been completely surveyed.

  17. Over fifty years later, the boundary between the two states along the Mason-Dixon line came into the spotlight with the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Compromise established a boundary between the slave states of the south and the free states of the north (however its separation of Maryland and Delaware is a bit confusing since Delaware was a slave state that stayed in the Union). • This boundary became referred to as the Mason-Dixon line because it began in the east along the Mason-Dixon line and headed westward to the Ohio River and along the Ohio to its mouth at the Mississippi River and then west along 36 degrees 30 minutes North.
