purchase land

overpopulation, rising land prices, & worn-out
soil in the East

with a wave of national unity, but sectional disputes between the North & South emerged & would dominate politics for next 40 years–Disagreed over the use of
protective tariffs, especially when cotton prices fell in 1820s
–Disagreed over slavery in the western territories & states

Missouri CompromiseIn 1817, Missouri applied for
statehood as a slave state & revealed U.S. sectional rivalries:–North resented Southern control
of presidency & its 3/5-inflated representation in House of Reps
–South feared a Northern conspiracy to end all slavery
–Equality had been maintained by alternating admission of “free” & “slave” states added to the US
Population was growing more rapidly in North, so House of Reps favored Northerners
NY rep Tallmadge wanted Missouri only if its state constitution provided for
the gradual elimination of slavery
