1.The Compromise.
is a thrilling rollercoaster. This insanely fast rollercoaster represents the Missouri compromise. It’s the line dividing the northern and southern states. The amazing coaster features a piece of the track heading in a straight line down (90 degrees). This represents the line that divided the north and south. In an effort to preserve the balance of power in Congress between slave and free states, the Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820 admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. For this reason, we have shaped the coaster (from an aerial view) in the shape of maine. Furthermore, with the exception of Missouri, this law prohibited slavery in the Louisiana Territory north of the 36° 30´ latitude line. In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise. Three years later the Supreme Court declared the Missouri Compromise unconstitutional. It ruled that Congress did not have the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories.
