Venn Diagram
A Venn diagram shows visually how two things
are similar and different. The diagram is simply two intersecting
ovals or circles. When the two things have a trait in common, write
that trait in the area where the two circles intersect. If a trait belongs
to only one of the two things, write it in the part of the circle that
does not intersect with the other circle.
Compare and contrast the Fugitive Slave Acts of 1793 and 1850 by
filling out the Venn diagram below.
