I believe that a good website has font that is easy to read and has good, simple information.

I learned that the Missouri Compromise was repealed by the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act and declared unconstitutional in the 1857 Dred Scott case.

Another website that I liked actually a little better is....... http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/ushistory/missouricompromise1.htm

http://www.historycentral.com/documents/Miscompromise.html

What I learned from this website that I didn't know beforehand was that before the compromise, it was actually proposed that Missouri be a free state though it had several slaves living in it.

This website was good because it gave me all I wanted to know about the compromise.

An important fact about the Missouri Compromise that I didn't know before is, it made the country always have the same amount of slave and free states.

This website is good because it explains the Missouri Compromise very well and easy to read.

This my website: http://www.sonofthesouth.net/slavery/missouri-compromise.htm

I think this is a good website because it shows diagrams, explains events leading up to the compromise, and before and after the compromise.

1. what i didn't know before was that to become a state you have to have at least 60,000 people living there. Then you have to ask congress to make it official.

2. I found many good websites, but this one is my favorite because it gives great, valid information that is clear and easy to read/ understand.

This is another site i found that i this is just as good:

What I learned was that America was receiving a vast amount of land because of the war vs. Mexico

This website was good because it gave information that was easy to understand and it got right to the point. It explained the beginning, during and end in easy to understand and only the important facts, no fluff.

I learned that the Missouri Compromise stated that slavery would be banned in states owned by France as a result of the Louisiana Purchase. Maine entered the Union as a free state, while Missouri entered the Union as a slave state.

This website was helpful to me because it not only discussed the Missouri Compromise, but it discussed what actions lead up to it in great detail and what the result of the Missouri Compromise was.

What makes websites informative and helpful to me is when it is easy to read, provides quotes from that time, and describes the topic in great length. What also makes websites helpful to me is when they discuss the cause, effect, and what lead up to the certain event to really help the reader understand what was happening during that time.

This is a video i found.i believe it very well covers the basics of the Missouri compromise, saying that an equilibrium of free and slave states had to be kept at all times so as not to disrupt the congressional balance. it then says how when Missouri was founded as a slave state, there was no other area populated enough to make a free state. to solve the problem, Maine was carved out of Massachusetts as a free state.
What i learned from this video is that it took nearly a year for a new state to form. this surprised me, because there is a large window of time between the creation of states where congress was imbalanced. i am surprised a decision abolishing or fully legalizing slavery wasn't made in the mean time.
here is another link i found that i thought was very helpful.

The Website is call http://civilwar.bluegrass.net/secessioncrisis/200303.html. this website says all about what MIssouri wanted and what the government did to keep things even between the states

Joey said...

The website is:
http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0833427.html

Something I learned from this website was that speaker of the house Henry Clay is thought of as responsible for the compromise but in reality, senator Jesse B. Thomas of Illinois was strongly more a part of it.

This website is helpful because it puts the facts of the Missouri Compromise together in a simple, readable format.

This website is: http://civilwar.bluegrass.net/secessioncrisis/200303.html

One fact that I didn't know that i found interesting is that The Missouri Compromise was repealed by the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act and it was declared unconstitutional in the 1857 Dred Scott decision.

I thought that this website was very good because I learned a lot of different things that I didn't know. The facts were also chronologically ordered for better a better understanding.

One thing that I didn't know about the Missouri Compromise was that there were 22 states at that point in time. I also didn't know that they were even because there would be no laws about slavery.

This website was helpful because it helped me understand the Missouri Compromise and the time period it was in. It showed about the problems that the union faced when half the nation wanted slavery while the other half did not.

Here are the websites:

http://www.ourdocuments.gov/doc.php?flash=old&doc=22
http://history1800s.about.com/od/slaveryinamerica/a/missouricompro.htm

these websites were good because 2 of them gave primary sources.

Mahesh said...

The website I found is http://www.sonofthesouth.net/slavery/missouri-compromise.htm

One thing I didn't know that I found out on this website was that the North vehemently apposed admitting Missouri as a slave state and that this "compromise" raised the flags of war

Olivia Savitz said...

Here are a few websites i found about the Missouri Compromise
1)http://www.factmonster.com/ce6/history/A0833427.html
2)http://civilwar.bluegrass.net/secessioncrisis/200303.html

I learned that the Missouri Compromise stated that slavery wouldn't be allowed in states owned by France because of the Louisiana Purchase. Missouri entered the union as a slave state, and the Union didn't like how their was not an equal balance between slave states and free states. As a result, Maine came into the union as a free state, to even it out so that that their are 12 slave states and 12 free states, (24 senators in total).

The websites i listed above were helpful to me because at first when the Missouri compromise was explained to me, i didn't really understand in full depth what was happening. However, when i read through these websites, it explained in thorough detail all the decisions and actions that occurred during the Compromise.

To me, a website is informative and insightful when the text written on the website is large. Another component that makes a website helpful to me is when it describes the topic in detail. Also, when the author describes the timeline of events that led up to the topic that they are discussing, it is very helpful. This is because the reader can understand why that specific event happened at that certain time.

The website I found is

http://www.sonofthesouth.net/slavery/missouri-compromise.htm.

I found it interesting that "This Missouri bill caused one of the most exciting debates on the slavery question ever before known in the national legislature." This website was helpful because it is filled with information and gives you a lot of knowledge on the topic. What makes a website helpful is when in not only gives you detail, but also additional information.

$@rÅh said...

the website i found was

http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/ushistory/missouricompromise2.htm

From this website, i learned that slavery was not allowed above 36 degrees latitude, which was the southern boundary of Missouri.
I also discovered that people in the North were encouraged to return runaway slaves to their masters.

This website seemed to target younger readers. it was easier to understand the concepts, because the article was broken down into sections. there were not a lot ads to distract me from absorbing the information given in this passage. I think it is important that website give truthful information, and go to the point, giving all the informations promised in the title.

Tully said...

My website i found was this -http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0833427.html

1. I didnt know anything about the Missouri Compromise, so when i found it everything was new to me. If i had to say one thing, its that i didnt know that the south expected Missouri to be a slave state.

2. I thought this website was good because it didnt have too much to read and it was short. WHich means you dont have to read too much of something to understand it fully. I thought it was short and sweet. I understood the information they were giving me. It gave me a lot of info on the missouri compromise.

the website i got is http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0833427.html
The effect of the Missouri Compromise on USA were not that big, but if they didn't make a compromise then a civil war wopuld have broken out then. One thing a didn't know about the Missouri Compromise was that they made part of MA into Maine. This website was helpful because it showed me what the Missouri Compromise was a little clearer than you did. The thing that made this website clear it up was that it was in text and I could repeat int in my head.

This website was quite helpful for me because the information it gave was more than I expected from the Americans in 1820.

This website was good because it had simple and easy information about the Missouri Compromise and it was good font. Also it gives good information about it.

nick said...

The site I found was called http://history1800s.about.com/od/slaveryinamerica/a/missouricompro.htm. I found out that no territory north of the southern missouri border could enter as a slave state. This was later repealed in 1854 by the Kansas- Nebraska act. This website gave a lot of good info on the Missouri Compromise.

I learned that the Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820 but it was repealed by the Kansas - Nebraska Act. And that it was declared unconstitutional three years later by the Supreme Court.

I liked this website because it was easy to read, and it was brief and to the point.

1.) What I didn't know about the Missouri Compromise is that New york Representative James tallmadge suggested an amendment to ban slavery in Missouri even though there was over 2,oo0 slaves loving there

2.) I thought this website was good because it is easy to read with not a lot of big words and it is easy for you to understad

I learned that President Monroe had a question, did Congress have the power to prohibit slavery in a territory. This website is helpful because is has a picture and the font size is not too small. A helpful website is one that separates the information into paragraphs. Another thing is if the are pictures or diagrams. I like bullet notes of information.

An important fact that I learned was that the creators of the Missouri Compromise knew it was only a temporary fix for the problems of slavery.
My website is good because it breaks down the Missouri Compromise in a way that is easy to understand.

I think this website was good because it gave a lot of details. I knew the general facts, but I didn't know that the total of the votes came to 105 to 81. The north had 105 votes because they had a much higher population.

Something I found out that I didn't know was that the first two Northern states admitted to the union were Illinois and Indiana.

This is a good website because it gives a lot of details about the Missouri Compromise and also gives all the dates.

I found it interesting that they just got maine from mass. to balance out the government. The website was helpful because it had good info. a website is helpful when it has good info and it is organized.

johnny M said...

http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0833427.html

1.)Before i read and reviewed this website i had no idea that you had to have a certain amount of people for a piece of land to become a state

2.)This website is a good one because it has a lot of good and important information that really explains what happens in the missouri compromise in only a few paragraphs.

Anonymous said...

One of the websites I found is:
http://www.loc.gov/rr/program/bib/ourdocs/Missouri.html

This website taught me that there were two parts to the Missouri Compromise not just the fact that Maine was made a state along with Missouri but, that there was a line created that would determine if states would be slave or free. It also gave me a preview of the Kansas Nebraska Act.

What I didn't know before this website is that it made the Missouri Compromise line.

This website is good because it is short and to the point.
