How do we admit Missouri? The Missouri Compromise

Who was Henry Clay? Maine = Free Missouri = Slave 12 free states and 12 slave states

Popular Sovereignty – right for people to create their own government. Free-Soil Party New political party Keep slavery out of the Western territories. Martin Van Buren ran for a second term. (He lost!)

Setting the Scene… Tempers flare in Congress. Benton vs. Foote The reason: California

California’s Impact… Cali wanted to enter as a free state. 15 free states & 15 slave states Oregon, Utah, and New Mexico would follow. South might secede. Clay vs. Calhoun Fugitive slaves must be returned. Webster wants to avoid a Civil War.

What did it accomplish? Admits California as a free state. Bans slave trade in Washington, DC. Fugitive Slave Act Upholds popular sovereignty in New Mexico and Utah. Settles Texas/New Mexico border dispute.

UNCLE TOM’S CABIN Harriet Beecher Stowe Popular in the North Objected in the South History
