Social Studies 8


Students reviewed the ideas of the Wilmot Proviso and Popular Sovereignty as they related to allowing or banning slavery from the territories in the West. Today, students identified the results of the Compromise of 1850, and compared key peoples' ideas about slavery in the territories (including David Wilmot, Jefferson Davis, Henry Clay, and John C. Calhoun).

HOMEWORK: Complete the packet including a review of Section 1, a biography of Dred Scott, and graphing economic differences between the north and the south. This can be turned in today if completed, otherwise it is due on Monday.
