The DebateIn the North The SouthWanted to ban slavery in

MissouriMaine, which was a part

of Massachusetts, wanted statehood

Worried that free states would have the majority in Congress

Felt that the Constitution did not give Congress the power to ban slavery

Page 7: The Missouri Compromise of 1820  & Manifest Destiny

The Compromise, 1820Henry Clay, the Speaker of the House, saw an

opportunity for compromise.He suggested admitting Maine as a free state

and Missouri as a slave state, keeping the balance between the number of slave and free states, and the balance of power in Congress

The Missouri Compromise also banned slavery in the Louisiana Territory, north of the 36° 30’ parallel

Thomas Jefferson, at 80, worried that this might destroy the country

Page 8: The Missouri Compromise of 1820  & Manifest Destiny

Manifest DestinyThe belief that America is destined to stretch

across the continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean

“Our manifest destiny [is] to overspread and possess the whole of the continent which Providence (God) has given us for the development of the great experiment of liberty and.....self-government.” John O’Sullivan, United States Magazine and Democratic Review

Manifest = clear, obvious

The Oregon TrailBy the 1840’s thousands of Americans had

moved into the Oregon Territory.Presidential hopeful, James K. Polk, used the

Oregon Territory as a platform for election. His slogan ‘Fifty-four forty or fight!’ referred to the 54° 40’ N latitude. This was the northern most boundary of the Oregon Territory.

Rather than fight, Great Britain and the U.S. settled for the 49th parallel as the northern boundary in 1846.

The border stands today between the U.S. & Canada.
