- The South developed into plantations and slavery because of how profitable it was, due to a good growing season, fertile soil, and warm climate. Isn't that right, guy with the brown pants?
- Yes, that is right. The South is surrounded by water. They have the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean surrounding.
- Cotton was profitable because it cost less to transport, because it lighter than other staple crops. It cost little to market, and could be stored for long periods of time
- Why was cotton so profitable?
- First of all, you are not a citizen according to the Constitution. Second, living on free soil doesn't make you free because you returned to Missouri, a slave state. Missouri law decides your freedom
- I'm Roger B. Taney, on the supreme court.
- Lastly, The Missouri Compromise is unconstitutional because the fifth amendment states that no one can be deprived of life, liberty, property without due process of law. Slaves are property, so Congress cannot ban people from taking slaves into federal territory. This also means Congress cannot ban slavery in any federal territory
- I'm Dred Scott. My owner died after a journey through free territory. I'm free because I lived in free territory
