11-13-12 What I did today

Today in history class we learned about the Missouri Compromise. We also reviewed the stats of the north and south, including total square miles, population density, amount of african americans in each region, and male to female ratios in the regions. The south had more square miles in terms of area and the north had a higher population density. The south had more african-americans, while the north had some states with more females then males. We recorded all these facts while using an interactive map of the time period with detailed analysis of the Missouri Compromise. The Missouri Compromise, made it so that no slaves were allowed in the unorganized territories, however there could be slaves in Missouri and Arkansas. The Missouri Compromise was positive for the abolition of slavery as it stopped westward expansion of slavery.
