8 Missouri Compromise Big Problem Compromise Results Missouri s state constitution allowed Slavery. If Missouri entered the Union as a slave state the power in Congress would become unbalanced. The addition of Missouri would increase the number of representatives for states that were pro-slavery. A Compromise was reached to keep a balance in free and slave states. Missouri was added as a slave state and Maine was added as a free state. Part of the Missouri Compromise was that the country was split into two sections at the line of latitude 36 degrees 30 Minutes. This decision contributed to sectionalism or the splitting of the country in a northern Antislavery region and a southern proslavery region. The Missouri Compromise kept peace for nearly 30 years. During this time six new states joined the Union, but the number of free and slave states remained equal. Henry Clay s plan helped to avoid conflict in the Union until Color the states from the Northwest Ordinance yellow Color the slave states red Color the free states blue. Make the Missouri Compromise line green.

Result U.S. was seen as the protector of the newly independent countries. The U.S. proved itself to the world with the War of 1812 and stepped up as a leader for all of the Americas with the Monroe Doctrine. How is the Monroe Doctrine similar to Washington s foreign policy? Reflection: I had trouble with: I remembered very well! I need to review Notes:
