Today, I will be able to give reasons why the South was less industrialized than the North. I will be able to identify the 5 groups that made southern society. I will be able to describe the sufferings of African Americans under slavery.
You need to turn in section 3 if you haven’t done so already.

3. 1820: No slavery above 36 30’
Maine free state; Missouri slave state

4. Our country after the War with Mexico (Mexican Cession)

5. Compromise of 1850: California was admitted as a free state; Utah and New Mexico would get to exercise popular sovereignty; Slavery in D.C. is outlawed; a strict fugitive slave act was passed to make the South happy.

6. Kansas/Nebraska Act: Nebraska split into 2 territories: Both territories would exercise popular sovereignty

7. Popular Sovereignty
People in the state or territory will decide whether they would be a free or slave state/territory. This would be decided by popular vote.

8. Live and Die by agriculture

Also, slaves weren’t paid a wage, so the demand for factory produced goods was much more limited in the South compared to the North.
