Missouri Compromise

Now a days, everyone has their own personal device such as an iPhone or a smartphone in general. Older generational people would say that it is bad, but people our age would say it is great. Since we have this great technology it is sometimes good and other times bad. For instance, someone could go on twitter right now and say something completely rude to someone and it could make that person get really sad or mad. According to Rothwell, “Flaming is a cyber-term for an abusive, attacking written…

If there is no compromise, then there is no way of moving forward. Yes, the teacher is technically in charge, but they need compromise to show that they care about their students. Being able to change due dates, helping them out on a particularly hard question on a test, or even letting them have a free day can all help students learn more.

to build between the north and south over the issue of slavery. Three major compromises helped contribute to these tensions and lead to eventual war. These are the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. These compromises and their effects had major consequences that shaped the nation of their time.
