we chose this image because it is a picture of Henry Clay and he was one of the men who came up with the compromise of 1850

The balance between slave states and free states in the union was very important to both the north and the south. So when California asked to enter the union and Missouri asked to enter the union, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster decided to create the compromise of 1850. This compromise agreed that California and Missouri would both be granted entry into the union, California as a free state and Missouri as a slave state.
