6 März 1820 Jahr - Missouri Compromise

Beschreibung:

The Missouri Compromise, enacted in 1820, was a key legislative agreement that allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state and Maine as a free state, maintaining the balance between slave and free states in the Senate. Additionally, it prohibited slavery in the Louisiana Territory north of the 36°30' parallel, except for Missouri, setting a precedent for the future admission of states from the western territories.
