Why was Jefferson alarmed at the bitterness of the debate over the extension of slavery?
Thomas Jefferson worried about the Missouri Compromise in 1820 because it seemed to split the nation along "slave" and "free" lines. He called it something like "an alarm bell in the night." (Google the exactly quotation if you wish.) Prior to this time politicians did not think in terms of the nation being divided into two different regions, but Jefferson saw that this would lead to conflict. In addition, Jefferson and most other people of his generation had thought of slavery as something that would just go away soon.
