A coach pitch bat is a lightweight big barrel bat that gives the hitter about 30% more distance over a normal 2-1/4 inch barrel. For the first season of coach/machine pitch, you should select a 25 or 26 inch bat if your kid is average to below average in build.
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a congressional agreement that regulated the extension of slavery in the United States for thirty years.
Henry Clay, a leading congressman, played a crucial role in brokering a two-part solution known as the Missouri Compromise. First, Missouri would be admitted to the union as a slave state, but would be balanced by the admission of Maine, a free state, that had long wanted to be separated from Massachusetts. Second, slavery was to be excluded from all new states in the Louisiana Purchase north of the southern boundary of Missouri. People on both sides of the controversy saw the compromise as deeply flawed.
