Missouri Compromise Eighteen twenty Quick Skim and the Further in

00:14

and Stand on the Territory of the Parallel to the

00:16

River and Chandler and Latitude Mouth Again Everyone Meridian line

00:21

your heart So just outlining where the new rules of

00:25

Missouri or going to apply So the question the Missouri

00:27

compromise of eighteen twenty was most directly the result of

00:30

which of the following So In eighteen o three the

00:36

Louisiana purchase brought the territory of Missouri into the United

00:40

States Missouri asked to become a slave holding state by

00:43

eighteen nineteen which caused a dispute between North and South

00:46

over the expansion of slavery to the new Western territories

00:49

To show that they weren't backing down the South threatened

00:51

to secede from the union Instead the Missouri compromise was

00:54

00:57

the South Will Both sides agreed that there would be

Ly allowed slavery below the thirty six thirty parallel Well

01:37

settlers migrating west of the Appalachians are the ones who

populated the former territory of Missouri which later asked to

01:42

become a slave holding state And finally misery is a
