Missouri Compromise• The Missouri Compromise was passed in in 1820. It was made to separate the

Slave states (Confederate) and the free states (Union). The line was put at the latitude 36 30’. All of the states above Missouri were free states. The free states and the slave states had an even number of states 11 and 11. Maine was admitted to a free state. The line for this went straight across the map and the free states still had more land then slave states.

• Then take the union and the confederation and mix it for 22 minutes.

• Then pop it in the oven and you have the Missouri Compromise recipe

The cake

• In 1857, Dred Scott a African American slave sued for his freedom and his families freedom in United States Supreme Court. During the Missouri Compromise any state above the 36-30 line any state was a free state. His owner, Dr. John Emerson was living in a Illinois were it is illegal to own slaves. The United States Supreme Court voted 7-2 against Scott’s freedom. The reason they said this is that no person of African American decent could claim their citizenship in the United States and therefore Scott could not “bring suit under diversity of citizenship rules.”

• Chief Justice Roger B. Taney hoped this decision would settled the slavery issue. However, it infuriated the public and deepened the southern and northern states hate of each other.

• This incident was one of the many causes that lead to the Civil War.

Recipe for Dred Scott

• Add one angry slave and his family.• Combine two laws. The Missouri Compromise

and the Northeast Ordinance of 1787.• Add 9 Supreme Court Justices and mix well.• Separate 7 Supreme Justices and pour into

pan. Fry until crispy.• Add ½ cup of Northern States and ½ cup of

The Kansas-Nebraska Act~In 1854 senator Stephen Douglas introduced a bill in Congress that caused great anger to northerners that were horrified by slavery. Stephen Douglas wanted to get a railroad built to California. He thought that this would happen if Congress organized the Great Plains into Nebraska Territory and opened the region to settlers. Congress agreed to support the bill only if Stephen made a few changes. His final bill created two territories which were Kansas and Nebraska. The Kansas-Nebraska act outraged the northerners because it violated the Missouri Compromise and scrapped the Missouri Compromise by leaving it up to the settlers to vote on permitting slavery in the two territories. Stephen called this “popular sovereignty” or rule by the people. Northerners were scared of slavery marching across the plains. Stephen tried to calm their fears by saying that the temperature of the territories were not suited for slave labor. The northerners did not believe him. After the act was passed many people came to Kansas and were mostly farmers. Some settlers came either to support or oppose slavery. Abolitionist from the north sent weapons to anti slavery settlers and soon Kansas had two competing governments. The struggle over slavery then became violent. This disagreement between the two regions may have led to increased war and it did.

• Sprinkle some changes made by Congress in • Add the Nebraska Territory to the bowl• Bake this bill for half an hour and take out when the

Nebraska-Kansas Territory is made• Add a side of angry northerners that are against slavery• Finish off with a spice of settlers on Kansas

The Cotton Gin

The cotton gin was invented by a young Yale graduate named Eli Whitney in 1793. He took a job tutoring kids on a plantation in Georgia, where he saw a cotton ball for the first time. He noticed how long it took to clean by hand, then this is when he came up with the idea the cotton gin. The cotton gin is a hand-operated machine that cleans seeds and other unwanted material from cotton. This machine took place of fifty laborers working by hand. This means that a single worker using the cotton gin could clean as much cotton as fifty laborers working by hand. Within ten years, cotton was the section’s most important crop. In 1860, the sales of cotton being shipped overseas earned more money than all other United States exports combined. One of Whitney’s goals were to decrease the amount of slavery in the South. He did almost the complete opposite of this. As cotton spread more and more westward, all of the slaves followed. Between 1790 and 1850, the number of slaves in the South went up from 500,000 to more than 3 million. White, rich Southerners put all their money into slaves and land, and so little of their money on building more factories. Getting towards the late 1700s, inventors started to make machines produce more of their product, so they could make their product cheaper and quicker. This started the Industrial Revolution. This led to the Civil War in a way because, slave owners were losing their slaves. They were losing their slaves because the cotton gin took the place fifty slaves. This was a problem for the states who wanted slavery. This one idea that Eli Whitney had, all led to the Industrial Revolution, and Industrialism.

The Whitney Fudge Brownie

4.) Slowly combine these two mixtures together into a glass pan.

5.) Bake on 350 for 30 minutes.

6.) Take it out and sprinkle some Industrialism on top.

Immigration to USThere were many immigrants coming to the US during the time

of the civil war. Infact, it was almost at its peak. People had been coming to the US even many years before, so a lot of the country was recent immigrants. This lead to tensions in the civil war because most of the immigrants fled to the North. This was partly because the North had a lot of jobs in the factories and mills being formed. Another part was the slaves. Immigrants did not want to go to the South because the slaves worked for free, where as they wanted to be payed. They went to the north where they had factories and mills to pay immigrants. Also, the people who came, came from countries that had already banned slavery so they thought the North were better people. This caused most of the immigrants to side with the North. The South had less people to fight in the civil war so they were scared that they would have to few people to fight in the civil war.

The Election of 1860In the election of 1860, four candidates ran against each other in order to win presidency. Theses candidates were, Lincoln, Douglas, Breckenridge, and Bell. Each of these men were nominated by different groups of very diverse ideas. Lincoln was a Republican. Douglas was a democrat from the north and believed in abolishing slavery. Breckenridge was a democrat from the south and believed in keeping slavery. This race tore the country apart because the outcome would be so different for every candidate. In the end, Lincoln won the race with 40% of the votes. All of these votes however came from the north. In ten of the southern states, Lincoln wasn’t even on the ballot. Since Lincoln did not win by 51% (standard number of votes to win election), the southerners took this as a message saying that they were the minority. Southerners were now scared that Lincoln would abolish slavery. Slavery kept the southern population alive. Abolishing slavery would mean “the loss of liberty, property, home, country- everything that makes life living.” wrote a North Carolina newspaper. There was talk among the southern states of succession so they could keep their slaves. The government knew that sooner or later this would turn into a fight.

Recipe • First put four diverse candidates in a large bowl

and mix • Fold in a cup of Lincoln victory

• Add a dash of abolishment rumors • Mix in succeeded states and mix for 11 minutes• Now you have election of 1860 pie

The causes of the civil war paragraph

The secession was the time when Lincoln refused to let slavery extend into the northern territory. On December 20, 1860, the senate began its first meeting but there hopes for a distant settlement was shattered when 2 far away cities dashed there hopes. South Carolina delegates attended a state convention that ended with south Carolina leavening the union along with six other states causing the beginning of the civil war.

THE COMPROMISE OF 1850

MEREDITH ALLEN

California’s application to join the nation as a free state threatened the balance of north and south. The gridlock over California remained strong until Henry Clay devised a solution: The Compromise of 1850. This compromise included the abolitionists, northern and southern politicians, and the residents of California and the territories of Utah and New Mexico. It admitted California as a free state, making the balance between slave and free states unbalanced, violating the preceding Missouri Compromise and favoring the north. To avoid this flaw and keep the south in order, the Utah and New Mexico territories were added to the United States as territories open to a vote for or against slavery. Also, to avoid disrespect from neighboring countries, the US banned slave trade in the capital, Washington DC. People were allowed to own slaves in Washington’s 68 square mile area, but had to leave the city in order to buy or sell a slave. The fourth and final part of the compromise was the Fugitive Slave Act. The law stated that any fleeing slave had to be returned to its owner to prevent the owner from losing a piece of their property worth thousands of dollars. Abolitionists refused to return slaves who had a right to be free, but they appreciated slave trade ending in the capital. The southern leaders weren’t pleased about ending slave trade in DC, but were relieved that their slaves couldn’t escape without being returned. Any sort of freedom the slaves already had diminished to nothing unless they were able to escape to Canada, and everyone became responsible for other people’s slaves. Tension grew because northerners didn’t want to follow the law, and southerners didn’t welcome their disobedience, thinking the law didn’t do enough to ensure the return of their property. The Compromise of 1850 turned out to be something other than its name and the quarrels of north vs. south erupted into the four years of bloody Civil War.

Yield-4 years of brutal Civil War

The underground railroad was an escape rout for slaves to go to the north. The south lost about 100,000 slaves in about 40 years. They took trains and boats to get to the North to be freed from slavery. Everyday they would travel 10-20 miles to reach freedom. They were able to raise money for clothing and food because people donated money to them. The southerner were very mad because their slaves would run away and it would be hard to find them. They had many systems to make sure that the slaves wouldn’t be caught so they could get to freedom.
