Timothy Claimright did not want Maine to be associated with slavery. He felt that because of the Missouri compromise people would associated slavery with Maine, and they would not think of Maine as a strong free state. He also was strongly against slavery; he believed that freedom was a God givin right and did not wish to see the institution of slavery move westward.
