A LOOK AT TODAY! • The nullification crisis and what that has to do with state rights. • Compromises, why can’t we all just get along? • An activity over the compromises. • Brain Pop Video over states rights, other events that lead up to the Civil War.

LOOKING BACK! • Slavery and cotton are major influences on the southern economy. • Tensions continue to build between the North and South as more territories are settled. • States rights, what are they? Who has the power? Who has the final say?

WHO HAS THE POWER? • The nullification crisis in the 1830’s is a dispute between the northern and southern states over tariffs. • While the northern states supported high tariffs, southern states were opposed to these tariffs. • These tariffs took away profits from cotton farmers based on retaliatory tariffs put in place by Great Britain, while supporting manufacturing economy of northern states.

LET’S MAKE A DEAL • The Missouri Compromise was the first compromise and was passed in 1820. • This compromise was an agreement between northern and southern states allowing Missouri to enter the Union. • If Missouri was to be allowed to join, there would be more slave states than free. This allowed Maine to join as a free state to balance the deal. • Congress banned slavery north of the 36° 30’ (which is the southern border of Missouri).

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’ • In 1850 when California, due to the Gold Rush, had a population large enough apply for statehood. • With no slave state to balance a free state, major conflict arose between the north and south. • Talk of secession increased in the South. However, Senators Henry Clay and Stephen A. Douglass wrote the compromise that both sides reluctantly agreed to. • The Compromise of 1850 had two major agreements. The first admitted California as a free state and the second was the Fugitive Slave Act which guaranteed the return of runaway slave if found in the North.
