What is a reason that the Missouri Compromise did not have lasting effects?
The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a legislative effort to maintain a balance between free and slave states in the United States. While it helped temporarily ease tensions between the North and the South, it ultimately did not have lasting effects due to several reasons:
1. The Compromise was based on the assumption that an equal number of slave and free states would be admitted to the union. However, this balance was disrupted by the addition of new territories and states in the following decades, leading to further conflicts.
2. The Compromise's provision for the division of the Louisiana Territory along the 36°30' parallel did not address the underlying issue of slavery's expansion. The territorial acquisitions in the wake of the Mexican-American War in the 1840s reopened the debate, eventually leading to the more contentious Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.
3. The growing abolitionist movement, particularly in the North, challenged the institution of slavery and pushed for its eventual elimination. As public opinion intensified against slavery, the Missouri Compromise's attempt to mitigate the issue became increasingly inadequate.
In summary, the Missouri Compromise, while a temporary solution to the question of slavery, was unable to withstand the changing dynamics and growing tensions over the expansion of slavery. It eventually gave way to more significant conflicts that ultimately led to the American Civil War.
Woo all mixed up I don't understand.
Here some answers what one do you think it is?
It only applied to the lands of the Louisiana Purchase.
It only applied to the lands of the Mexican Cession.
It relied on popular sovereignty.
It limited the number of states that could be admitted per year
Based on the answers provided, the correct option seems to be:
- It only applied to the lands of the Louisiana Purchase.
The Missouri Compromise specifically addressed the issue of slavery in the territories acquired through the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. It established a dividing line (36°30' parallel) with regards to the expansion of slavery in those territories. States north of the line would be free, while those south of it could permit slavery. This compromise did not apply to lands acquired through the Mexican Cession in 1848 or rely on popular sovereignty or limit the number of states admitted per year.
Thank you!
Guess what!
