Slave States vs. Free States
• As U.S. territory grows, new states are created.
• States in the North are considered Free States (no slavery)
• Southern states are considered Slave States.
• …it’s not necessarily all about slavery.
![Page 15: Growth of a Nation (…2 Nations?). As a result of the American Revolution, Britain ceded it's territory east of the Mississippi.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032706/56649de35503460f94ada5d6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
A Divide Exists:Slave States vs. Free States
• The creation of slave states vs. free states is mostly about economic and political power.
• The abolition (antislavery) movement is still in it’s infancy.

“Cotton Is King!”By 1860, over half of US exports were Southern cotton!
![Page 21: Growth of a Nation (…2 Nations?). As a result of the American Revolution, Britain ceded it's territory east of the Mississippi.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032706/56649de35503460f94ada5d6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

![Page 26: Growth of a Nation (…2 Nations?). As a result of the American Revolution, Britain ceded it's territory east of the Mississippi.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032706/56649de35503460f94ada5d6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why does the South want Slave States?
• The South needs to expand their agricultural economy and sees the addition of new states as perfect answer.
• Political Reason: The addition of a new Slave States would mean 2 more Senators and additional Congressmen in the House of Representatives which would give Southerners more power!
![Page 27: Growth of a Nation (…2 Nations?). As a result of the American Revolution, Britain ceded it's territory east of the Mississippi.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032706/56649de35503460f94ada5d6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Protecting a Way of Life• Southerners needed
to at least maintain an equal number of slave states to free states that would mean equal representation in Congress otherwise, legislation would be passed that would not be agreeable to the Southern way of life!
![Page 28: Growth of a Nation (…2 Nations?). As a result of the American Revolution, Britain ceded it's territory east of the Mississippi.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032706/56649de35503460f94ada5d6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
How do we keep the balance of power and let the South expand?
• Slave states vs Free states
• Admitting new states may shift the balance of power
• We Either Fight or …….Lets Compromise!
![Page 29: Growth of a Nation (…2 Nations?). As a result of the American Revolution, Britain ceded it's territory east of the Mississippi.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022032706/56649de35503460f94ada5d6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

The Missouri Compromise (1820)
• Maine is admitted as a free state• Missouri is admitted as a slave state,
but what about the future?...• Slavery is not allowed in any new
western states created above Missouri’s southern border.

Uh Oh – more land, more issues
• Slave states vs Free states again…• What area is free and what is

power between the North and South the same?
• TIME TO COMPROMISE . . . AGAIN!

…and the Nation is still growing
• The territory that now makes up Kansas and Nebraska are lobbying hard to become states!
• Both are above Missouri’s southern border – so should they be free or slave?
• If they were one or the other – what would that do to the balance of power in the U.S.?
