And yet another slaveholding state!
A whole other landmass to hold my people captive and enforce harsh labour.
Its 1820 and these sectional issues between the North and South aren't getting any better.
For those of you not fully informed on the details of the Missour Compromise here's the gist:
In turn for Missouri, Maine and all unsettled territory north of the 36'30 degree line (of latitude) are deemed free states.
However what happens when this unsettled territory becomes settled?
I'll tell you! More states to further degrade our people, break our families and strip us of our value and faith.

Another hit. The Fugitive Slave Act has been passed! My brothers and family here's what you need to know:
Its now allowed for masters and their 'agents' to pursue runaway slaves across state lines! If they capture you expect to be sent back to the south. However the master would have to go through a court process to regain 'legal custody'
Do not let this stop you from reaching the American dream stolen from you. This act does not extend the power of owners in the north! --D.W.
