Slavery Compromises - March 6, 2008

Agenda:
1. Journal - "Find This!" (pg 44)
2. Check HW - Sensory Figure

5. Slavery Compromises Map (pg 47) - use the map below or the map on pg 365 in your book
HW: The Crisis Turns Violent (pg 45)

We are getting closer and closer to the start of the Civil War, and sectional tensions are increasing between North and South. While both sides struggle to maintain equality (or an advantage) in the Senate, the issue of slavery looms large over both sides.

Tonight's homework focuses on some key events leading up to the Civil War, when heated words become heated actions, and the sectional crisis turns violent.

You can check out the map of the Missouri Compromise here:
