3. • The Compromise of 1850
a. All states above the 35th parallel would be Free States
While the ones Below would be slave states.
b. Slavery would be decided in new states by popular
sovereignty, which means that state governments
should hold a vote to decide weather or not to be a
slave state.
c. The Fugitive Slave Law was passed: it said that any
runaway slaves from the south to the north should be

4. • The States Rights Debate
a. Slavery- Sothern's believed that slave owners
should be able to take slaves in to other states
because they were property and even if moved to
the north the slave would still have to remain a
slave. The North believed that it would be breaking
the Compromise of 1850.
b. The Dred Scott Case- Dred Scott was a slave
who’s owner moved to Maryland, a free state and
wanted his freedom and the owner did not want to
give him up, and when it was sent to Supreme
Court, the judge ruled that Dred Scott would remain
in the possession of His Master.

of its colonies, or the fact that the other countries had
better relations with the Union because they were more
experience.
