John Q. Adams was alluding to the fact that the Missouri Compromise, far from providing a comprehensive solution to the ongoing debate about slavery in America, merely signaled the beginning of a long and tragic struggle towards what he believed would be it's ultimate extinction. The Missouri Compromise essentially divided the counrty in half, everything North of a certain latitude being free, and south slave. This begs the question, why is the word "tragic" used to describe something that would seem to us to be a good thing : that is the end of slavery. Here Adams recognized the fact that lives would be lost, homes and families torn apart, and an entire way of life (the agricultural South) stripped of it's life force. LONG STORY SHORT: By the time Adams said this he had positioned himself adamantly against slavery (Amistad) but knew the end of it would mean terrible things for many. The Missouri Compromise, then, was just the beginning.

How is Creon a tragic hero in 'Antigone'?
Creon is not a tragic hero in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, a hero is someone who does great deeds, has great powers and is the main character in the play. Neither the title nor the position description applies to Theban King Creon. In fact, it is doubtful that Creon is intended to be anything other than the play's villain because of his defiance of divine will and cherished Theban traditions.
Why is Antigone not considered a tragic hero?
Antigone in the play of the same name is considered a tragic hero. A hero is someone who does great deeds, and who has great power and strength. In its feminine form of heroine, the title and the position description fit Antigone. For example, Antigone does great deeds because she dares to bury her brother Polyneices in accordance with the god-given funerary procedures to which he's eligible. She shows great moral power and strength in so doing, for she is confronting the vaster power of the State as represented by her uncle, Theban King Creon.

When does Creon become a tragic hero?
A hero is someone who does great deeds, and has great strength or great powers. The female equivalent is called a heroine. The title and the position description fit Antigone, who does great deeds for the dead and shows great moral strength in so doing. In contrast, Theban King Creon doesn't show himself to be the doer of great deeds. It's questionable that Sophocles [495 B.C.E.* - 406 B.C.E.] intended the King to be anything other than a villain whose villainy catches up with him. And so King Creon may be seen as a tragic figure, instead of a tragic hero, when his son Haemon commits suicide. That suicide is the first reversal that the King receives, and it's all down hill from then on. *Before the Christian Era.
