3 Slavery -Slavery had long been an issue in the United States since the Revolutionary war -Slavery had been the main reason why the South and the North came to a Civil War - Slaves made farmers free workers to pick items such as cotton and tobacco

4 Important Terms Abolitionist- Someone who fought for the freedom of slaves, these people were usually found in the north Secession- This was when a state said they didn’t want to be a part of the rest of the United States Free State- A state that didn’t allow slaves and when the Civil War started sided with the Union Slave State- A state that allowed slavery, found in the south Mason Dixon Line- All states south of Pennsylvania became slave states while all states north of Maryland became free states

5 Acts and Compromises - Compromises such as the 3/5 compromise were used to count the number of slaves in a state or a territory ( area of land which hadn’t applied for statehood yet) -Compromise of 1820- Missouri wanted to enter the Union as a slave state but this angered the North (who was against slavery) because there would be one less free state than slave state, so Maine entered the Union as a free state to keep the balance of power in Congress -Fugitive Slave Act- If a slave was found in the North and was found he was ordered that runaway slaves to be returned Compromise of 1850- California achieved statehood as a free state
