Maine

Maine was part of Massachusetts until 1820, when it officially became it's own State. In February 1819, Missouri applied to become a State, and as part of their application, acknowledged they would allow slavery in this new State. An amendment was made by John Tallmadge of New York, which basically said Missouri would not allow the spread of slavery in the new state, and that children who were born into slavery after Missouri was recognized as a state would be freed on their 21st birthday. This amendment was adopted and the bill passed the House, but was rejected by the Senate. During the next session of Congress (1819-1820) the matter was brought up again, but had been complicated even farther by the fact that Alabama had been admitted as a slave state, bringing the total number of free vs. slave states to 11 each. At the same time, a bill was introduced to allow Maine to become a State. Much discussion ensued, and a number of amendments were proposed. one compromise was to allow slavery in the Missouri Territory only south of the 36/30, the southern boundary of state of Missouri, with the exception of the State of Missouri itself. Then Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, offered an additional compromise. This compromise is known by a number of different names, but is commonly called the Missouri Compromise, or the Compromise of 1820. In it, Clay suggested slavery be allowed in this State. At the same time, though, he said Maine should be admitted as a free State. This was eventually agreed upon, and allowed both States to be admitted to the Union, as well as maintaining the fragile balance of Free vs. Slave States. Interestingly, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 actually repealed the Compromise of 1820 and allowed each individual state to decide whether they would allow slavery with their borders or not. In addition, the Dredd Scott Case which was decided by the US Supreme Court declared the Compromise unconsitutional, as it deprived citizens of their right to own property (slaves). The Dredd Scott case is considered by many to be one of the key ignition points leading up to the American Civil War.

Maine Pyar Kiya was created on 1989-12-29.

Yes, Maine is an 'Open Carry State'. However, that does not mean that the local police dept -or- sherriff's dept will not detain you, (or simply, harrass you), for carrying a handgun 'cowboy style' down the sidewalk. Your best bet is to apply for a consealed weapons permit, and know the laws pertaining to both 'open carry' & 'consealed weapons'.

Many species of dinosaur lived in what is now Maine. They lived there as long as 300 to 400 million years ago.

Maine only shares a border with one US state. This state is New Hampshire.

As of early 2017, the oldest living person in Maine was Doris Farrar of Freeport ME (born June 6, 1906).

The only state to border Maine is New Hampshire, which borders Maine on the west. The northern and eastern Maine lines border Canada.

Boston is slightly north of 42 degrees. Portland, Oregon is north of 45 degrees. The 42nd parallel is the boundary between Oregon and California over 4 1/2 hours south of Portland, OR.

Portland, Oregon is also farther north than Portland. ME.

The distance from Kennebunk, Maine, to Portsmouth, Virginia, is 546 air miles. That equals 878 kilometers or 474 nautical miles.

The Salinas Valley located in California is the largest agricultural community in the state. Agriculture dominates this area, as most of the crops grown here are lettuce, tomatoes, and spinach.

The best answer to this is that Nevada is a gambling state, except for 2 small towns. The professional sports teams may have been too much of an allure to gamblers and rigged sports contests, so they did without them.

The first town in the District of Maine was a town called Kittery. Kittery was incorporated from Piscataquis Plantation on November 20, 1652. The town serves as the gateway to Maine from points south with its old and more modern bridges spanning the Piscataqua river.

No presidents came from Maine - however, when John Adams and John Quincy Adams were elected, the area we now know as Main was still part of the state of Massachusetts - specifically the District of Maine - and both of the Adams' were from Massachusetts.

The driving distance between Bangor, ME and Concord, NH is approximately 235 miles.
