Why does the civil war begin?**
 * Assignment
 * Missouri Compromise- the missouri compromise was an agreement passed in 1820 between the people against the slavery and people who believed in slavery. This compromise made Missouri a slave state and Maine as a free state.
 * secession-act of withdrawing from an nation. The southern states did this when the disagreement got bigger.
 * Compromise of 1850-The compromise of 1850 made California the free state and the south gets strict laws and popular severity.
 * Fugitive Slave Law- laws passed by the Congress to provide for the return of slaves who escaped from one state into another or into a public territory. This law allowed people to help slaves to runaway and catch the runaway slaves in non-slavery areas. (benefits the south) slaves cannot runaway from the south
 * Uncle Tom's Cabin- anti-slavery book
 * Ostend Manifesto- secret document that described a plan to acquire Cuba from Spain
 * Kansas Nebraska Act- this act created the territories of kansas and nebraska, opened new lands, repealed the Missouri Compromise, and allowed the settlers in these territories to determine if they would allow slavery in their territories.
 * Dred Scott Case- a decision that ruled that African people were not legal persons and could never be citizens of united states.
 * He is a black slave and goes to the supreme court and says "are we citizens?" and the decision was that he couldn't be free and he is not the citizen. This decision made the people in the north really mad.
 * John Brown's Raid- He tried to extend slavery to the west. This was an attempt by the person named John Brown to start an armed slave revolt. But later, he was hanged. (He killed 4 people who owned the slaves. He was abolitionist.)
 * Election of 1860-this set the stage for the civil war due to the slavery. Lincoln was elected as the president. (1861- 1865-> civil war because the south said that they are going to break away.)


 * 1) Analyze the significance of the State's Rights Doctrine, the Missouri Compromise (1820), the Compromise of 1850, the Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854), the Dred Scott Decision (1857), and the election of Abraham Lincoln (1860).
 * 2) The state's rights doctrine was significant because it made clear that united states constitution protects the rights of the individual. The Missouri Compromise was significant because it stated that the slavery in Missouri would be allowed. However, nobody liked this idea. The Compromise of 1850 was significant because it delayed the civil war from happening by setting California as a free state. The Kansas and Nebraska Act was significant because it allowed the citizens to choose between the free state and the slave state. The Dred Scott Decision was significant because it made the civil war to happen by the decision of the slavery. The election of Abraham Lincoln was significant because it really clearly showed the difference between the anti-slavery people and the supporters of slavery. These acts were all significant to the starting of the civil war.
 * 3) Discuss the importance of the slavery issue as raised by the annexation of Texas and California's admission to the union as a free state under the Compromise of 1850.
 * 4) Texas and California were declared as the free states. This solved the conflict between the north and the south for a short amount of time and it helped delaying the civil war from happening.

10/10:. Fridays assignment to be posted by next class.Write an answer to the following question: Besides searching for riches,a shorter route to Asia,and converting Natives,what similarities and differences did the exploreres have?Name two similarities and two differences.(Compare and contrast)

There were some similarities and differences between the explorers. One similarity was that all explorers were sponsored by rich people or a country. For example, Amerigo Vespucci was sponsored by Spain; Magellan was also sponsored by the Spanish king. Second, all explorers were men. There was no woman. The crew members were also all men and there was no woman at all. One difference was that the explorers achieved different things. For example, Vespuci's contribution was that his voyages made it clear that there was a continent that lay between Europe and Asia; Magellan was the first one to circumnavigate the world; and more.. The second difference was that they were all from different countries. Some were from Spain and the others were from England, Italy, or other countries.
