Essay On Missouri Compromise

2. The Missouri Compromise went into motion when Missouri had a very well set population and applied for Statehood. When this began it started a battle in congress on the topic of slavery and its legality. The resolution of the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was that it established clear slave states, free states, states that are closed to slavery and also states open to slavery. It brought about restrictions on slavery by limiting future slave states to below the 36°30’ line. Missouri also established the Missouri act of 1820 having no restrictions on slavery and escaped slaves are allowed to be hunted in every state and northern free states. AS to describing it as the final answer to slaver for the US it was not. It was a minor stepping stone

due to the fact the slavery was legal in most states especially all of the southern states.

4. The “Corrupt Bargain” in the election of 1824, simply put, a scam to not allow Candidate Jackson to win. Jackson had the clear majority, but when Clay was in 4th place he dropped out and endorsed JQ Adams and the EC votes from Clay were tallied up to JQ Adams making JQ Adams the next president. In return for doing to JQ Adams named Henry Clay his Secretary of State. Immediately this was denounced by the public assuming most of congress as well, hence it was coined the “corrupt bargain”. This later helped Jackson win the election in 1828 by a landslide as the southerners were very dissatisfied in JQ Adams presidency as he was more focused on New England and out of touch with the common man as a northern elitist. Jackson was the opposite a war here and very well in touch.

The nullification crisis was down right about raising import and export tariffs during the Jackson Administration. This Especially hurts South Carolinians due to them being the common man growing tobacco and other goods. National Debt was basically paid off to borrow more from the tariffs imposed in 1832 by South Carolina and they were very unhappy. South Carolina refused to collect the tariff and begins to arm and build defenses in case the administration was to step in with military force. Eventually Jackson attempts to resolve the problem using two different angles. Legislative sent to elites threatening to forcefully invade South Carolina and to hang Calhoun for wise, Jackson was trying to reduce the tariff by proposing ideas to congress. Another way was Legally, by showing major flaws in South Carolinas arguments against the tariffs. He sent letters to the people of South Carolina saying not to be deceived by names, and that disunion by force is a form of treason are they sure they want to carry that guilt. Other letters were treason. Clay and Calhoun reduced the tariff and force the collection of revenue from the newly modified tariff. South Carolina was pleased and the situation didn’t escalate any further. Although similar issues arise in the

1840’s

3. The Purpose of the Monroe Doctrine is very straight forward. When it was introduced in 1823 it was mainly to keep the new Americas at peace instead of perpetual war with foreign nations. I’ll briefly give an excerpt “The American continents are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power” it was sort of intended to also “protect” Latin American from all European powers and the US said they would see this as a threat and would not be tolerated.
