Thursday

 We are going to look at a handout from Don't Know Much About History (Zachary Taylor to Lincoln).

1. Why was the Missouri Compromise important in dealing with California becoming a state? 

2. Who is the architect or leader in the compromise? 

3. What did the Fugitive Slave Act do?

 4. TRUE OR FALSE: The compromise clearly laid out who would vote and who would run elections in new territories for them to decide the issue of slavery there. 

 5. Civil War breaks out in the US by 1861. Why do you believe The Compromise of 1850 was not enough to avoid Civil War?
