The ageing Thomas Jefferson thought it was only a superficial solution, and that it would one day split the nation in two.
It remained loyal to the Union, and that is why Lincoln allowed slavery to continue there. But it was a badly divided state, with guerrilla warfare continuing throughout the conflict.
That Scott had no right to argue in court
I think one result was that Germany had the strongest army in Europe, and the second strongest navy (only second to England)
i have this same question...but the split would result in Germany holding out and possibly winning the war i think
Kansas never seceded from the Union during the Civil War.Granted that Kansas was quite volatile during the 1850s concerning the question of slavery. Jon Brown and company were quite vocal and active in that decade.I think Missouri seceded though, but was never recognized by the CSA as a state but was considered a CSA territory.
Under the Missouri Compromise of 1820 Missouri was admitted as a slave state and Maine as a free state.
yes. It is usually called Jefferson City, I think.
Henry Clay, The Missouri Compromise and the Compromise of 1820
The Missouri Compromise I think
There were a number of compromises made in the US leading up to the US Civil War. The list is as follows:1. In order to have the new US Constitution ratified, slavery was not slated for abolishment, but the importation of slaves would be illegal after 10 years. ( this was a hollow deal as slaves continued to be imported under cover) 2. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 to keep the balance of slave and free states equal; 3. The Missouri Compromise of 1850, this also to keep the slave-free state balance, but added the Fugitive Slave Law; and 4. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowing citizens to vote on the slave issue when a territory had yet to apply for statehood.
Scott didn't win his freedom and the decision reinforced the idea that slaves were property. The Missouri Compromise was a blow to the southern states to gain more slave states. I don't think the Scott decision added anything to the compromise, but it did entrench slavery in the states where it existed.
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.
It kept the peace for thirty years - so it benefited both sides. Ironically both sides were dissatisfied with it, but at least they were equally dissatisfied, and it managed to keep the balance.
The western expansion of slavery and the balance between slave and free states in the Senate
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.
It's actually the 3/5 compromise.
What does Jefferson think will happen if the Constitution is not followed strictly?
