Описание:

The Tallmadge Amendment was proposed in 1819 by Representative James Tallmadge Jr. of New York during the debates over Missouri's application for statehood. The amendment sought to restrict the further introduction of slaves into Missouri and provided for the gradual emancipation of those already in Missouri, sparking a heated debate over the extension of slavery into new territories and contributing to the sectional tensions that eventually led to the Missouri Compromise.
