Question

According to the Missouri Compromise, slavery would be legal in which of the following places?(1 point) Responses Arkansas Arkansas Iowa Iowa Montana Montana Illinois

Answer 1

According to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, slavery would be legal in Arkansas, as it was a slave state that was part of the compromise. The Missouri Compromise allowed slavery in the areas south of the 36°30' parallel, which included Arkansas. In contrast, states like Iowa and Illinois, located north of that line, were free states where slavery was prohibited. Montana, being part of the territory acquired later, was not specifically addressed in the Missouri Compromise.

So, the correct answer is **Arkansas**.
