Which of the following events occurred first? the discovery of gold in california the compromise of 1850 the application for statehood by california the missouri compromise

The correct answer is D) the Missouri Compromise.

The event that occurred first was the Missouri Compromise.

In 1820, many conflicts divided the states of the Union. The Northern states were against slavery and supported abolitionism. The Southern states relied on slavery to produce cash crops in the large plantations that had to be exported to Europe. So they supported the use of slaves. So the US Congress had to make a decision that wouldn't create more problems. That's how Congres came up with the Missouri Compromise. Missouri was accepted as a slave state but at the same time, Maine was accepted as a free state.

the ss was the main organization responsible for the genocidal murder of around six million people of european ethnic minorities, essentially jews, in the holocaust. the members of all its branches committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during the second world war (1939-1945). likewise, the ss were involved in commercial enterprises and exploited the inmates of the concentration camps as slave laborers.

the tortures and assassinations committed by the ss were the result of an ideology developed long before the armed conflict, this ideology was based on the racial supremacy of the germans over the rest.
