Conflict or Compromise? The Events Leading to the Civil War (1820 & )

How do we keep the balance of power and let the South expand it’s territory? Admitting new states may shift the balance of power between the number of slave states and free states We Either Fight (conflict) or ……. Compromise!

Missouri Compromise

The Missouri Compromise (1820) Maine will be admitted as a free state Missouri will be admitted as a slave state, but what about the future?... Slavery is not allowed in any new western states created above Missouri’s southern border.

Missouri Compromise

Over time (decades) the USA gains more land and gains more issues! What area will be free and what will allow slavery when admitted as states? How will we keep an equal balance of power between the North and South now? TIME TO COMPROMISE... AGAIN!
