These carefully crafted presentations provide structured instruction through concept explanation materials that break down the complex legislative package, including the admission of California as a free state, the establishment of popular sovereignty in Utah and New Mexico territories, the strengthened Fugitive Slave Act, and the abolition of the slave trade in Washington D.C.
