Blog #9-Missouri Compromise

This photo is taken from the book, The Mysteries of Harris Burdick.

Compare this image to the Missouri Compromise of 1820.  For example, the chair rail in this photo separates the top and bottom of the room just like the Missouri Compromise further divided the northern states and the southern states over the issue of slavery.

Have fun!  :)
