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.
James Monroe was the President in 1820 when Maine became a state, along with Missouri, in what was known as the Missouri Compromise.
War with Great Britain, Missouri Compromise, Monroe Doctrine, Mexican-American War
He passed the Missouri Compromise and the Monroe Doctrine. The Missouri Compromise resolved the fight between free and slave states by pairing Missouri as a slave state with Maine, a free state, and banning slavery north and west of Missouri forever. The Monroe Doctrine was created between Great Britain and the United States to keep European countries from re conquering the newly freed South American countries. In essence, the document means nothing even though it is still in use today.
