Debate: Should Missouri be allowed to have slaves?
• NW Ordinance of 1787– Outlines how new states can
join the United States• Need 60,000 people• Can not have slaves!!
• Pro-slavery politicians from South argue:
• NW Ordinance was only for OH, IN, IL, WI, and MI
• People of Missouri should be able to make their own decisions!!
• So, what do we do?

Henry Clay calls for a Compromise• Clay comes up with a deal
that makes both sides happy:– Let Missouri join as a “slave”
state
– Make a “free” state to balance…• Hello Maine!
– Then, ban slavery in any new state north of Missouri
• Called Missouri Compromise

1820…The Great Peacemaker• Henry Clay kept America from
fighting itself…however:
– The South• Realizing they may have to fight
to keep slavery
– The North• Realizing they may have to fight
to end slavery
• In schools, they teach their children to be like Henry Clay– Look for a way to end slavery!
– Guess who is a young 10 yr old student?
