jan 1, 1820 - Missouri Compromise

Description:

The Missouri Compromise was an agreement between congressmen from free states and congressmen from slave states. They agreed to ass Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state, maintaining the balance of slave and free Senators in the Senate. This event is significant because it shows the emerging divide between pro-slavery and abolitionists in American culture at the time.
