3 To expand slavery or not in the United States? Slave states vs. free states! Missouri Compromise (1820): no slavery above the 36 degree parallel, tried to keep slave & free states equal Compromise of 1850:CA a free state, UT & NM could vote on it (MS didn’t like this!) Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854): Those 2 states could decided slave or free, repealed Comp. of 1850, supported by southerners Dred Scott (1857): slave taken to a free state, owner died, tried to obtain freedom through courts, USSC said he was “personal property” & just b/c he entered a free state, didn’t make him free!
