Can a compromise be constructed over the moral and legal question of slavery? Is it possible to compromise over such an issue? These are the questions that the United States was struggling with since its inception.
Today we will review the attempts at compromise over slavery beginning with the Constitution and continuing through the Missouri Compromise and into the Compromise of 1850. We'll consider the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and if time, watch an additional excerpt of Africans in America: Judgment Day, using this study guide for notes.
HW due tomorrow is to read and take notes from Foner 378-the top of 390.
