With the US Congress deadlocked over the Missouri situation, there seemed no way to satisfy the Congress. The Speaker of the House, Henry Clay, however, presented a plan, a compromise, that Congress finally passed.
The Missouri Compromise was put forth by Senator Henry Clay in an attempt to prevent the addition of the new territory of Missouri, as a slave slate, from tipping the balance of power in Congress to Southern States. Since Missouri was not an official state until this compromise's passing, the state's people had no representation in Congress or ability to affect this bill.

James Monroe led to sectionalism by passing the Compromise of 1820, also known as the Missouri Compromise. This compromise stated that for any state that has slavery, it must have a sister state in which slaves are free. This idea was controversial and led to a deeper feud between the North and the South. They had already been disagreeing in the Senate, which was also feeling the affects of sectionalism. The Senate had divided into North, South, and West sections. The North and South always disagreed, therefore causing the West to make all the decisions. Mainly, the Missouri Compromise added to growing sectionalism in our country under James Monroe.
