Missouri Compromise (Compromise of 1820) (3 März 1820 Jahr – 3 März 1820 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

a US congressional agreement that admitted Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state to maintain the balance of power in Congress, while also prohibiting slavery in the remaining Louisiana Purchase territory north of Missouri's southern border. This led to the Civil War by establishing a precedent for federal involvement in slavery and later being overturned.
