Seeing
How History Changes
Most links place historical facts in a table so you can easily compare them. You are not memorizing all of the facts placed in these tables. Instead, you are using those facts to notice changes and patterns. To help you, most links provide tips on what to notice. These things are placed together because it is very difficult for students to notice change over time.

Things to notice in general: The new sections: ·
The North = the North East (mainly New England) + the
rise of the Northwest (west of the Appalachians) ·
The South = The Southeast (sometimes called the upper South) + the
rise of the Southwest (sometimes called the deep South) The general changes: -
How are new technologies for transportation changing geographic
relationships? -
How is the productivity of new and old land changing geographic
relationships? -
What is capital doing? -
What populations are becoming surplus
(as in not able to earn a living in the North and not worth their overhead as

Balance at the time of the Missouri Compromise (This opens in a New Window.) 1. Kept the number of slave and free states (and their number
of Senators in the Senate) equal for the immediate
period. In 1820, the South has only a
stalemate in the Senate. 2.
Excluded
slavery from all of the remaining land
of the Louisiana Territory. That land will become 7 more free states and thus
14 more Senators. With the map, there is only one other possible slave state
for 2 more Senators and that is Arkansas. Eventually when free settlers move to those 7 new states and the
South will no longer have that stalemate. -
