21.2: Questions about Missouri
What to do with lands west of the Mississippi River?
If a state west of the Mississippi River was slave, would slavery spread to all future states in the Louisiana Territory?

21.2: Tallmedge Amendment
New York Rep. Tallmedge proposed that Missouri be admitted to the Union as a free state
Southern reps said slave/free was for the people of that state to decide, not for Congress to decide
Southern states were fans of states’ rights

21.3: Reactions to the Compromise
Northerners called their reps traitors for allowing Missouri to become a slave state
Southerners didn’t like the ban on slavery in unorganized territories
Sec. State John Quincy Adams agreed that slavery could dissolve/break up the union
![Page 9: Chapter 21: A Nation Divided](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/56816977550346895de16560/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Summary Sentence Debate continued over
free/slave states. Tallmedge Amendment failed, but the Missouri Compromised passed in 1820 with Maine as a free state and Missouri admitted as a slave state. Both sides still unhappy.

21.4: The “Gag” Rule Congress votes to table all anti-
slavery petitions/ideas John Quincy Adams proposes that

slavery in the media and in meetings

Kansas and Nebraska Territories to determine if states would be free or slave (map on page 410)
![Page 23: Chapter 21: A Nation Divided](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/56816977550346895de16560/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
21.6: Bloodshed in Kansas After the Kansas Nebraska Act was
passed in 1854 both the North and the South sent people to Kansas to influence the vote
Kansas had 2 governments, one for slavery and one against slavery
Slavery supporters burned hotels, homes, etc. in Lawrence, KS (abolitionist base in KS)
Abolitionist John Brown retaliated by killing 5 men suspected of supporting slavery

21.7: Dred Scott Decision A Missouri slave named Dred Scott traveled to
Wisconsin where he was free according to the Missouri Compromise
When he returned to Missouri he sued for his freedom thinking that his stay in Wisconsin made him a free man
Judge Roger Taney said that Scott could not sue for freedom because he was not a citizen, he was property
Taney also said that the Missouri Compromise was unconstitutional and therefore his stay in Wisconsin didn’t make him a free man
![Page 26: Chapter 21: A Nation Divided](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/56816977550346895de16560/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
21.7: North’s View Hated it Taney’s ruling was a huge
step backward for the abolitionists because the Constitution was not on their side
![Page 27: Chapter 21: A Nation Divided](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062411/56816977550346895de16560/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
