AIM: How did the Missouri Compromise (1820) attempt to settle the debate over the future of slavery in America?

War of 1812 over…

Why are people moving west? Acquisition of Native Americans’ lands Economic pressures NE – embargo South – new land to replace poorly farmed soil 3. Improved Transportation Roads Canals Steamboats Railroads 4. Immigrants Speculators offering cheap land in the Great Lakes and Mississippi River valleys

Western state issues – how do they enhance their political influence in Congress? What was most important to the westerners? “Cheap money” — easy money from state banks vs. Bank of US Cheap land from the government Improved transportation Slavery Southern settlers wanted the spread of slavery…WHY? Northern settlers had no use for slavery

Sectional Crisis and Expansion: Missouri Compromise 1819 - Missouri wants to enter the Union as a slave state ALARMED THE NORTH! WHY? 1819- 11 free and 11 slaves states… North and South don’t want to lose power ie., votes in Congress (states had entered in pairs slave/free especially the Senate)

Tallmadge amendment tries to help the argument… James Tallmadge – NY Prohibit further introduction of slaves into Missouri Children of Missouri slaves me emancipated at the age of 25 What would this have done in the US? Gradual elimination of slavery in Missouri… BUT it was defeated in the Senate Is the North trying to abolish slavery all together??

VIDEO Missouri Compromise Henry Clay creates a deal Missouri enters = slave state Maine enters = free state Territory of the Louisiana purchase above 36°30’ could NOT have slavery Sectional feelings were taken care of…FOR NOW “Era of Good Feelings” was badly damaged by sectionalism and Missouri Nationalism vs. Sectionalism VIDEO

Now we’re focusing on foreign policy under Monroe… John Quincy Adams, the son of President John Adams, of Massachusetts, Secretary of State for Monroe Follows a Nationalist policy EXPAND American territory REDUCE European influence in the Western Hemisphere Is Monroe’s Secretary of State Believed Federal Government should support Science Technology Economic Growth Adams Says: “America has a god given destiny to Establish “Our proper domination [over] the continent of North America.”

Our British neighbors to the North… Rush-Bagot Treaty (1817) Britain and US LIMIT naval vessels - Great Lakes DEMILITARIZE boundary between the US and British Canada Improving relations between the United States and Britain during this time!

Lets keep it up, Britain! Treaty of 1818 JOINT-OCCUPATION of Oregon Territory for 10 years Northern boundary of LA Territory at 49th parallel

Now we want FLORIDA Adams-Onis Treaty (Spain) 1819 AKA Florida Purchase Treaty Spanish sell Florida to US In exchange: the United States surrendered its claim to northern Mexico (Texas)

Where is Latin America?

Now we focus on Latin America “Our policy, in regard to Europe…nevertheless remains the same, which is, not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers; to consider the government de facto as the legitimate government for us; to cultivate friendly relations with it, and to preserve those relations by a frank, firm, and manly policy…” Now we focus on Latin America Restoration of monarchies in Europe after after the fall of Napoleon in 1815 produced a backlash against republican movements… France, Austria, Prussia considered helping Spain return to power in S. America (Russia in Alaska too) The MONROE DOCTRINE (1823) was a statement that warned European powers not to INTERFERE with the Americas! (mainly Latin America) “…as a principle in which the rights and interests of the United States are involved, that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers...” Non-Colonization “The American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers.” Isolation “We have never taken part nor does it comport with our policy to do so.” The Doctrine did not stop England from engaging in trade.

The Monroe Doctrine had FOUR major points: The U.S. would NOT interfere with the actions of European countries. The U.S. would recognize, and NOT interfere with, European COLONIES that already existed in North and South America. The Americas (Western Hemisphere) could NOT be taken over by ANYONE in the future. The U.S. would see any attempt by Europe to take over land in the Americas as an act of WAR. How did nations react? America = applauded but soon forgot – domestic issues too important Britain = annoyed because it applied to them too! European monarchs = ANGRY, but British naval power scared them off from conquering any lands in the west
