Hello and welcome to the Sunday Picture Show. Share your Buck knives with others by posting pictures of them here. New or old, plain or custom, user or safe queen, one or a collection, we love to see them all. This weekly tradition was started in 2010 by ItsTooEarly (Armand Hernandez) and Oregon (Steve Dunn). Help keep the tradition alive. Feel free to click that 'LIKE' but lets not let it replace discussing and complimenting each others knives. DeSotoSky (Roger Yost)
On this day, March 3rd, 1820 Congress passes the Missouri Compromise
...and signed into law on March 6th by President Monroe. Even in the early 1800's the issue of slavery was hotly contested. Northern states wanting to limit the expansion of slavery into the newly acquired Louisiana Purchase and the Southern states to expand slave territories. Up until this point the number of slave and free states was equal (11/11). The decision was to only allow slavery South of the 36-30' parallel in the new territories The compromise allowed Missouri as the only slave state North of that parallel which was Missouri's Southern border. At the same time Maine was admitted as a free state in the North and thus maintaining an equal balance of slave/free states. I would say the "compromise" stalled the advent of civil war over slavery while at the same time hardening the divisions over slavery. Read WIKI for a better explanation than I can give.
