What was the impact the Missouri Compromise had on relations between North and South?

Answer 1

The Compromise of 1850 was several bills that were passed to help end the tensions between the north and the south states. It addressed territory boundaries and which states could have slaves.

Answer 2

I remember learning this in history class...Basically, it was that if southern state officials agreed to reinforce the new tax laws, the tax would be lowered over several years. This affected relations between the north and the south because it finally ended their big dispute, they made a compromise, and this helped them to get along better. Had this even not occurred, the south was about to rebel against the unfair tax laws and this would have meant BIG changes in the history of America. Hope I helped! (:

• The Missouri Compromise is an agreement between the North and the South and passed by Congress in 1820 that allowed Missouri to be admitted as the 24th state in 1821

Answer 3

Quite favourable.

It seemed to 'draw a line' (literally) under the disagremeents by fixing a single line of latitude, North of which slavery would be illegal.

So when the various Western territories came up for admission to the Union, there need be no argument over the slavery question.

This lasted until the aftermath of the Mexican war, when it was clear that California was too big to fit into this arrangement, and another compromise had to be worked out. This new compromise was less satisfactory, and war followed in a few years.

Answer 4

The Missouri compromise was about whether slavery should continue a part of American society. It allowed the state of Missouri to become a part of the union while retaining slavery, balanced by admitting Maine, which was a free state. It also prohibited slavery in the new Louisiana Purchase states. It was considered deeply flawed on both sides, and merely established the differences that would later lead to war.
