En.m.wikipedia. American politician The son of a prosperous Massachusetts merchant, King studied law before volunteering for the militia in the American Revolutionary War. He won election to the Massachusetts General Court in 1783 and to the Congress of the Confederation the following year. At the 1787 Philadelphia Convention, he emerged as a leading nationalist, calling for increased powers for the federal government. After the convention, King returned to Massachusetts, where he used his influence to help win ratification of the new Constitution. At the urging of Alexander Hamilton, he then abandoned his law practice and moved to New York City. King was the informal de facto Federalist nominee for president in 1816, losing in a landslide to James Monroe.

The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was a congressional agreement that regulated the extension of slavery in the United States for thirty years. Under the agreement, the territory of Missouri was admitted as a slave state, the territory of Maine was admitted as a free state, and the boundaries of slavery were limited to the same latitude as the southern boundary of Missouri, 36°30′ north latitude. By 1818 the rapid growth in population in the North had left the Southern states, for the first time, with less than 45 percent of the seats in the U.S.
House of Representatives. The U.S. Senate was evenly balanced between eleven slave and eleven free states. Therefore, Missouri's 1818 application for statehood, if approved, would give the slave states a majority in the Senate and reduce the Northern majority in the House. In 1819 the free territory of Maine applied for statehood. From the county of Howard, five representatives. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Approved, March 6, 1820. 1. 2. 1. 2. 3. 4. 1. 2. .history.com/ In December 1860, on the eve of the Civil War, Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden (1787-1863) introduced legislation aimed at resolving the looming secession crisis in the Deep South. The “Crittenden Compromise,” as it became known, included six proposed constitutional amendments and four proposed Congressional resolutions that Crittenden hoped would appease Southern states and help the nation avoid civil war. The compromise would have guaranteed the permanent existence of slavery in the slave states by reestablishing the free-slave demarcation line drawn by the 1820 Missouri Compromise.
Though Crittenden’s plan drew support from Southern leaders, its rejection by many Northern Republicans, including President-elect Abraham Lincoln, led to its ultimate failure. This was an unsuccessful effort to avert the Civil War during the winter of 1860-1861. Despite considerable popular support for Crittenden’s compromise, Congress failed to enact it. The Reader’s Companion to American History. President Monroe signs the Missouri Compromise | HISTORY. On March 6, 1820, President James Monroe signs the Missouri Compromise, also known as the Compromise Bill of 1820, into law. The bill attempted to equalize the number of slave-holding states and free states in the country, allowing Missouri into the Union as a slave state while Maine joined as a free state. Additionally, portions of the Louisiana Purchase territory north of the 36-degrees-30-minutes latitude line were prohibited from engaging in slavery by the bill.
Monroe, who was born into the Virginia slave-holding planter class, favored strong states’ rights, but stood back and let Congress argue over the issue of slavery in the new territories. Monroe then closely scrutinized any proposed legislation for its constitutionality. Passage of the Missouri Compromise contributed to the Era of Good Feelings over which Monroe presided and facilitated his election to a second term.
1820 Missouri Compromise. On January 1818 Missouri requested to be admitted as a new slave state in the Union prompting a sectional battle that would last three years. At the time the state’s population was 56,000 free men and women and 10,000 slaves. Missouri’s application opened a political firestorm over the spread of slavery in the new western territories and disrupted the balance of free and slave states. There were 22 states in the Union, 11 free and 11 slave states. Missouri would be the 23rd state. For some members of Congress, mostly antislavery leaders from the north, this situation was unacceptable.
It was clear that as new states were created and joined the Union a new system to regulate slavery in those territories was needed. The solution was provided by the Missouri Compromise. The 1820 Missouri Compromise drew an imaginary line dividing the country in two. 36° 30′ latitude Congress devised a two part compromise. Video by Teacher Tube Back to Compromise of 1850 Homepage. Economics. The American Civil War was an issue of economics. Slavery became an intensely debated issue in the early 1800s because of the division of land and labor. The invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whitney in 1793 had fueled America's Industrial Revolution. A technological invention that saved time and labor, the cotton gin actually fueled rapid expansion of various markets, goods and services.
Additional slaves were then needed to bring more cotton to market and more land was sought for planting. New shipping ports were developed, and older ports were improved and expanded. The varied economic resources of the North—industrial, commercial, financial, agricultural—gave the North an enormous advantage over the predominantly agricultural South. As territories grew economically, they were ready for statehood. In particular, Missouri, a slave state, petitioned for statehood; however, Congress fiercely debated the issue wanting to equalize the number of slave states with non-slave states. Missouri Compromise Line - 36 Degrees, 30 Minutes. Parallel 36°30′ north - Wikipedia. Map of the United States c. 1849 (modern state borders), with the parallel 36°30′ north – slave states in red, free states in blue This 1856 map shows slave states (gray), free states (pink), U.S. territories (green), and Kansas in center (white) with parallel 36°30′ north prominently indicated.
In the United States[edit] In the United States, the parallel 36°30′ forms part of the boundary between Tennessee and Kentucky, in the region west of the Tennessee River and east of the Mississippi River. This parallel also forms part of the boundary between Missouri and Arkansas in the region west of the St. Francis River, and part of the boundary between the Oklahoma Panhandle and the Texas Panhandle. In 1779 and 1780, surveyors were sent to mark the line on the ground as far as the Tennessee River. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 established the latitude 36°30′ as the northern limit for slavery to be legal in the territories of the west. Around the world[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] Liberia - History | Britannica. This discussion focuses on Liberia from the 19th century.
For a treatment of earlier periods and of the country in its regional context, see western Africa. Outsiders’ knowledge of the west of Africa began with a Portuguese sailor, Pedro de Sintra, who reached the Liberian coast in 1461. Subsequent Portuguese explorers named Grand Cape Mount, Cape Mesurado (Montserrado), and Cape Palmas, all prominent coastal features. The area became known as the Grain Coast because grains of Melegueta pepper, then as valuable as gold, were the principal item of trade. In the beginning of the 19th century the tide started to rise in favour of the abolition of slavery, and the Grain Coast was suggested as a suitable home for freed American slaves. In 1818 two U.S. government agents and two officers of the American Colonization Society (founded 1816) visited the Grain Coast.
The early republic At the time independence was declared, a constitution based on that of the United States was drawn up. How a Movement to Send Freed Slaves to Africa Created Liberia | HISTORY. The biggest question facing the leaders of the United States in the early 19th century was what to do about slavery. Should it continue or should the U.S. abolish it? Could the country really be home to free black people and enslaved black people at the same time? And if the U.S. ended slavery, would freed men and women remain in the country or go somewhere else? Many white people at this time thought the answer to that last question was to send free black Americans to Africa through “colonization.” Starting in 1816, the American Colonization Society—which counted future presidents James Monroe and Andrew Jackson among its members—sought to create a colony in Africa for this purpose. The society spent its first few years trying to secure land in West Africa.
“They argue that their sweat and blood, their family who were once enslaved, built this country; so therefore they had just as much right to be here and be citizens,” he says. Liberian independence proclaimed | HISTORY. The Republic of Liberia, formerly a colony of the American Colonization Society, declares its independence. Under pressure from Britain, the United States hesitantly accepted Liberian sovereignty, making the West African nation the first democratic republic in African history. A constitution modeled after the U.S. Constitution was approved, and in 1848 Joseph Jenkins Roberts was elected Liberia’s first president. The American Colonization Society was founded in 1816 by American Robert Finley to return freed African American slaves to Africa.
In 1820, the first former U.S. slaves arrived at the British colony of Sierra Leone from the United States, and in 1821 the American Colonization Society founded the colony of Liberia south of Sierra Leone as a homeland for former slaves outside British jurisdiction. The American Colonization Society came under attack from U.S. abolitionists, who charged that the removal of freed slaves from the United States strengthened the institution of slavery. Milestones: 1830–1860 - Office of the Historian. The founding of in the early 1800s was motivated by the domestic politics of slavery and race in the United States as well as by U.S. foreign policy interests.
In 1816, a group of white Americans founded the American Colonization Society (ACS) to deal with the “problem” of the growing number of free blacks in the United States by resettling them in Africa. The resulting state of Liberia would become the second (after Haiti) black republic in the world at that time. Joseph Jenkins Roberts, First President of Liberia Prominent Americans such as and were among the best known members of ACS.
Former President publicly supported the organization’s goals, and President arranged public funding for the Society. The motives for joining the society were vast as a range of people from abolitionists to slaveholders counted themselves members. Lieutenant Robert Stockton Other colonization societies sponsored by individual states purchased land and sent settlers to areas nearMonrovia.
