Yesterday, November 13th, we went to the lab and looked at a map showing the Missouri Compromise ( http://bit.ly/BLosI ). We compared the North and South land and population, then how the Missouri Compromise changed the map.
Today, November 14th, we went over the Missouri Compromise and learned about the Mexican War. We compared textbook definitions, again finding that the sources varied. We watched a video on the Mexican War, then took a video quiz at the end.
