So I have two work that needs attention, the first one is an essay about Henry Clay, and all the instructions are listed above. and if you don't mind the prof instructed we write in PowerPoint-like a slide show or if you can do a short video is still okay but just follow the directives. and he requires 600words and above.
then the second homework is 3oowords about Thomas Jefferson and The Lousiana Purchase. both assignments have links and sources provided already please include them as parts of your citations. if you have any questions please do let me know. Thank you for all that you do.
I’m stuck on a History question and need an explanation.

This web page lists the compromises and/or events centered around slavery and taxes (tariffs).
The Eight Compromises over Slavery and Taxes
1. The Constitution (1788-1789)
Material on the event (do this on each one) Only discuss the Compromise over how slaves should be counted as far as the Census.
It determines both representation and, as intended at the time, how much tax each state would pay to the National Government
2. Fugitive Slave Act (1793)
3. Missouri Compromise (1820)
4. Second Missouri Compromise (1821)
5. Gag Rule in Congress (1831-1844)
6. Compromise of 1850
7. Kansas- Nebraska Act (1854)
8. Crittenden Compromise (1860)
There are 8 events listed.
Your assignment is to discuss each one of the 8 in greater detail than he did. You must cite this as one of your sources. Your paper may well be improved by including relevant pictures. I am particularly looking for discussion on the economic issues involved. The issue behind the moral issue of slavery was the economic effect of tariffs. [ High tariffs were good for the North and bad manufacturing interest for the agrarian interest of the South because of reciprocal tariffs]. Your text is helpful, and again I will create a discussion where you all can share sources. To some, this may look like a hard assignment. Others will see it as an opportunity to learn and demonstrate their ability to understand our past.
This may require you to write over a thousand words to do it well. A minimum acceptable would be 600.
Assignment 2:
Discussion 5: Thomas Jefferson and the Louisiana Purchase
Thomas Jefferson and The Lousiana Purchase
Purpose: Understanding why Jefferson saw this as an opportunity based upon his belief in yeomen farmers,
HLQ: Was Jefferson true to his vision of limited government.
In your 300 words address why France was ready to sell and why Jefferson viewed this as an opportunity. Was Jefferson true to his vision of limited government? Was he true to his vision of land as the base of wealth and the yeoman farmer as the model citizen? As always cite your sources.
