Oh Okay Next question on the Missouri compromise here room

00:09

from this passage The Missouri compromise of eighteen twenty is

00:12

most similar to which of the following the Missouri compromise

00:19

of eighteen twenty was an attempt to reconcile the North

00:22

and South in their dispute over the expansion of slavery

00:25

Per the agreement slavery wasn't allowed in the newly acquired

00:28

territories north of the thirty six thirty parallel On top

00:31

of that misery enter the union as a slave holding

00:33

state while main entered as a free state in a

00:36

similar manner The compromise of eighteen fifty helped prevent a

00:39

bloody conflict between the North and the South over the

00:41

territories acquired at the end of the Mexican American War

00:45

According to this deal California entered the union as a

00:47

free state while the Utah and Mexico territories were allowed

00:51

to decide for themselves via popular sovereignty Whether or not

00:55

to you know do the whole slavery thing All right

01:00

embarrassing resolution to a debate about how to count the

of taxes government representatives and presidential electors well As a

01:19

result the Southern states dominated national politics until the northern

01:23

population surpassed that of the South The Kansas Nebraska act

01:26

created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska in eighteen fifty

01:29

four and allowed them to choose by popular sovereignty whether

01:32

or not slavery was allowed However unlike the Missouri compromise

01:36

in the confines of eighteen fifty the Kansas Nebraska act

01:38

failed to prevent an immediate bloody conflict Pro slavery factions

01:42

and anti slavery factions collided in a conflict known as

01:45

bleeding Kansas Well the Texas annexation of eighteen forty five

01:48

cause a lot of tumult between pro slavery and anti

01:51

slavery factions which was one of the reasons for the

01:53

compromise of eighteen fifty Anyway all that said doesn't really
