The year is 1790.
The Constitution has been adopted.
The country survived as a unionbecause of two great compromises:
1. different representation in Senate and House
2. counting only 3/5 of the slaves.

Three years later,a third compromise is desperately needed
to address a difficult question that the Constitutional Convention
was unable to answer:
Where should we put the capital?

Popular history bookstell an interesting story
about how Thomas Jefferson invitedAlexander Hamilton and James Madison
to his house for dinner, and togetherthey worked out the great compromise.

We will use this questionas an organizing theme
to explore the geographyof the young country.
Then we will use ideasfrom that geographic analysis
to explore why the compromiseworked out in the way it did.
Finally, we will note how this compromise(plus its refusal to answer a question)
eventually led to the Civil Warand continues to influence voting today.

Each group will get some mapseach with a set of instructions.
The instructions addresssome of the GLCEs and
Common Core standards.

Each map will provideinformation about a specific
aspect of colonial geography.
The instructions focus on specific skills of spatial reasoning.

One group gets a climate mapand counts how many monthsmight be too hot or too coldfor comfortable work in an office (before air-conditioning!).

One group finishes a graphbased on data in a table,and then marks a place
on a population map.

To evaluate the influence of the major cities, one groupwill put cities into size groups and then transfer information
from the table to a map.

One group will make a map showing the region of slavery,
by finishing a bar graphand then coloring the statesusing data from the graph.

To evaluate economic health, a group will classify states
based on informationfrom a map of products.

To see which stateswere making lots of money,one group will finish a map
showing the balance of trade.

Finally, a group finishes a map to see which states would gain
if the federal governmentcancelled their debts.

Then, each group tries to choose
the best location for the capitalbased on the informationon their map and graph.
![Page 16: The Geography of the Third Great Compromise. The year is 1790. The Constitution has been adopted. The country survived as a union because of two great.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051821/5697c0041a28abf838cc4287/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Finally, the groups get together,
compare information,and try to choose
a compromise locationfor the national capital.

The teacher packetwill include visuals
for skill demonstrationand the “right answers.”

And when it is all done, we can try to identify
what message we should learnfrom the Great Compromise.
Specifically, we will seewhether we can applyany of that message
to the present Congress,which seems unable
to compromise!
