1 jan 1820 ano - Missouri Comromise

Descrição:

The Missouri Compromise was a compromise that forbade slavery in Louisiana and any territory that was once part of it in the Louisiana Purchase. Slavery was also forbidden anywhere north of the 36/30 parallel, except within the territory of Missouri (which was being proposed as a state), where it was to be allowed. Maine also wanted to join the Union (although it wanted to join as a free state unlike Missouri). Because of this Both states were accepted into the Union, Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. This compromise led to the Civil War because it contributed to the division and disagreement between North and South regarding the issue of slavery and made the issue more contentious between the two sides of the U.S.
