1820 agreement crafted by Henry Clay. It was a settlement that allowed Missouri as a slave state and to balance it out Maine becomes a free state, banning slavery north of the 36°30’N latitude. The significance of the compromise is retaining the balance between slave and free states. The compromise solved the short-term crisis. But that crisis had exposed the growing division btwn the North and the South over the expansion of slavery.
1820- The Missouri Compromise makes missouri a slave state and Maine a free state. It also draws a line
The period after the war of 1812 was labeled “The Era of Good Feeling” by historians. Some people believe that this is an accurate label of this time period, but others disagree. Due to the emergence of sectionalism- concern with local interests, and nationalism- patriotic feelings and self pride, people had mixed feelings about this time period. Many people felt that times were high, and that nationalism and sectionalism could only bolster the union, while others thought that it was sectionalism and nationalism that caused disunion. Some of the documents used in this essay support the claim that the period after 1812 was an era of good feelings. Other documents will oppose this claim with proof from their own perspectives.
Missouri was admitted as a slave state and Maine was admitted as a free state, preserving the Congressional balance.
The attitudes that generated into the War of 1812 were the animosity between the relationships of Great Britain, France, and Untied States. The United States was a new power and was attempting greater control over the American territories. While Great Britain was in a fight with France and in an effort to stop trading that was going to the enemy, both France and Great Britain attempted to block U.S trade with each of the other countries. With the Embargo Act and the Non-Intercourse Act both being unsuccessful and economically damaging for the U.S, the United States agreed that if either France or Great Britain removes restrictions for trade that the U.S would terminate trade with the other country. France was first to remove the blockade on the United States, so in turn President James Madison prevented exchange with Great Britain as per the agreement.
Its purpose was to even out the amount of slaveholding state representatives in congress. To do this, Maine became free slave state and Missouri was created as a slave state. Because of this, all slavery was extinguished in the northern states, but available in the southern states (Document E). Congress also established a line across the southern border of Missouri to distinguish the northern states from the southern states. All states north of this line must be free of slavery and those south of the line will contain slavery.
However, the Missouri Compromise allowed Missouri to be part of the United States only if Maine would be a free state. This compromised creates a balance free and slave states. A border was then established across the Louisiana Territory that banned slavery in the north territory so
To maintain peace, Missouri was granted a slave state and maine was declared a free state. These regional differences played a major role
The War of 1812 was a near catastrophe for the United States. The United States stayed on the offensive in the West. In the East, political divisions were strong. New England Federalists opposed the war and prohibited attacking Canada. Boston merchants and banks refused to lend money to the federal government making it difficult to finance the war. The Federalists opposed higher tariffs and national enrollment of state militiamen. Before the war, the Federalists
In 1819, two more states wishing to join the union, were Missouri and Maine. Missouri wanted to join the union in the in the north, but as a slave state. this would make the balance of power in congress unequal. Many northerners opposed this idea. Northerners proposed that Missouri be a slave state and that no more slaves were to be brought in, and all slave children would be free at age 25. Eventually Missouri would be a free state. Southerners were opposed to this idea. Congress debated for months. This brought about the Missouri Compromise of 1820, when Henry Clay proposed that Maine enter the union as a free state. He also proposed prohibiting slavery above the 36’30’ latitude, which is the southern boundary of Missouri. Since plantations would not be able to survive further north of this line, the South agreed.
Slavery in all territories, “now held, or hereafter acquired” was to be prohibited north of 36o30’, but south of that line it was to be given to federal protection.
Mainly through the struggles of Henry Clay, the amendment was acknowledged by the House. Missouri was authorized to stand up to as a proslavery constitution and also Maine was acknowledged to the Union. The Missouri constitution was Relevance to Congress for approval in 1821.It involved a section demanding the legislature to inhibit the immigration of allowed blacks keen on the state. The antislavery group in Congress protested to this providing and a concession bill, frequently called the another second Missouri Compromise, was approved on March 2, 1821. “Missouri to border the rights sure to all citizens through the federal government, since it could not prohibition the entrance of allowed blacks on the state. Missouri was acknowledged on August 10, 1821, with the exclusion of Missouri, this by-law forbade slavery in the Louisiana Territory north of the 36° 30´ latitude line” (Missouri Compromise).The Missouri compromise was
Most important of all, perhaps, was the growing sense of anxiety which Americans felt toward Great Britain. Americans had always been suspicious of British activities in the western hemisphere, but inevitably this fear had grown as the United States began to define its strategic and economic interests in terms that extended beyond its own
The Missouri Compromise stated Missouri would be a slave state and Maine would be carved out of Massachusetts and created into a non-slave state. The Missouri Compromise really angered the North, contributing to the Civil War.
