The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 essentially repealed the Missouri Compromise (1820) by allowing new states to determine whether slavery would be allowed there or not.
1.Maine would separate from and be admitted as a free state; 2.Missouri would enter the Union as a slave state; and 3.The remaining territory of the Louisianna Purchase, which lay north of the 36-30 parallel, would be closed off to slavery.
Well, Henry Clay worked out the compromise; the three parts are: 1.Maine would separate from Massachusetts and be admitted as a free state; 2.Missouri would enter the Union as a slave state; and 3.The remaining territory of the Louisiana Purchase, which lay north of the 36-30 parallel, would be closed off to slavery.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, proposed by Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, in effect repealed the Missouri Compromise because it allowed the settlers in these two areas to decide whether or not to allow slavery. Since these territories were located north Missouri, they gave southern slaveholders an opportunity that had been closed to them since 1820.

It is a free STATE that is closed by slavery. You know..... like when there is a free state, there is NO slavery. Therefore, it is like slavery is closed, that is way it is called closed to slavery.

The chain store Territory Ahead store is being closed due to a buyout from another large company chain. The employees seem to be disinterested in answering questions from consumers as well as the media.
