Slavery and the Southern Economy
• The South was mainly agricultural with very little
manufacturing
• The main crops during the mid 1800s were rice and
cotton, both which required extensive labor to
produce
• Though slavery was prevalent in the South, the
vast majority of Southerners did not own slaves

politics? (pg. 278-286)
–

Create a chart like the one below in which you plot the names of the individuals
above and their contribution to making slavery a significant political issue
Nat Turner

Nat Turner’s Revolt
• Slave Codes put restrictions on slaves,
preventing them from learning to read and write
and restricting their rights
• Nat Turner, a Virginia slave, believed God had
chosen him to lead a revolt
• Turner and his followers killed more than 50
people before being caught
• Turner’s Revolt led to states
passing even stricter codes
and restrictions on both
slaves and free African
Americans
Abolitionist

moved north to promote the abolitionist
movement
• William Lloyd Garrison became one of the
country’s leading abolitionist, publishing the

Essential Question
•
How did the Missouri Compromise affect the admittance of new
states to the Union? (pg. 246-247)
•
What were the new criteria by which states were admitted?
•
First - Identify the Missouri Compromise [ define the Missouri
Compromise…e.g. What was it?]
•
Next – Describe the criteria by which new States were admitted into
the Union per the Missouri Compromise
•
Ex.
Missouri Compromise = …blah blah blah…blah.
Criteria for Admittance = States were admitted into the Union…blah blah
blah…blah & blah.
The Missouri Compromise
• In 1819 the U.S. consisted of 11 free and 11 slave states
• Missouri applied for statehood as a slave state in 1819
• To off set the imbalance Maine applied for statehood as a
free state
• The Missouri Compromise granted statehood to both
free and slave states and set a boundary for which areas
slavery could
expand in to - Everything
north of the line was free
and
everything south
would be
slave
Why would the South agree
not to expand slavery into
the Unorganized Louisiana
Territory?
SSUSH8 The student will

SSUSH8c. Describe the Nullification Crisis and the
emergence of states’ rights ideology; include the role of
John C. Calhoun and development of sectionalism.
Nullification Crisis
• In the early 1800s South
Carolina’s economy
began to weaken in part
due to high government
tariffs, or taxes, on
imports
• In 1828 Congress
passed another tariff,
which many called the
Tariff of Abominations
• South Carolina
threatened to secede
from the U.S. over the
high tariffs
Why would tariffs hurt Southern
states like South Carolina more
than Northern States?
Nullification Crisis
• Vice-President John C.
Calhoun, from South
Carolina, supported the
idea of nullification, or
the right of the states to
declare federal laws
null, or void
• He declared that states
had this power of
nullification because
the states had created
the federal government
Nullification Crisis
• In 1832, Congress passed yet another
tariff law
• In November 1832, South Carolina
declared the tariffs of 1828 and 1832 null,
and refused to pay the federal
government’s taxes on imports
Nullification Crisis
• President Andrew Jackson ordered a warship to
Charleston, viewing the nullification as a treasonous act
• To ease tensions, Congress passed a bill that gradually
lowered tariffs
• South Carolina repealed its nullification of tariffs and the
issue was temporarily solved
How was the Nullification Crisis
an example of sectionalism?

and slave states
