The Tallmadge Resolution was a proposed amendment to a bill for Missouri's admission to the Union in 1819. Introduced by Congressman James Tallmadge Jr., it aimed to prohibit slavery in Missouri and gradually emancipate enslaved individuals already there. The resolution sparked intense debate and highlighted the growing sectional tensions between the North and South over the issue of slavery, ultimately contributing to the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which sought to maintain a balance between free and slave states.
