How did The Missouri Compromise affect massachutes?
By the early 1800's the issue of slavery was beginning to head towards civil war that would eventuality break out in 1860. Politicians from both the North and South tried to ease the tensions by maintaining a equilibrium of political power between them. By 1820 this equilibrium threatened to fall apart over Missouri's application to statehood as a slave state which would have given slave states control of the US senate. A compromise was found (i.e. the Missouri compromise) that admitted Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state so the balance of power in the senate was maintained. This effected Massachusetts because Maine prior to 1820 was a part of Massachusetts and in order for the compromise to go forward Massachusetts had to give up sovereignty over Maine.
