Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise, written by Henry Clay, attempted to limit the slavery boundaries; it was later declared unconstitutional and is also
considered one of many events that led to the American Civil War. The compromise became a precedent for settling subsequent North and South
disagreements over slavery and duty issues, and it remained in effect until rescinded by the Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854. The Missouri Compromise

Prior to Clay holding the position, the speaker of the house had a minor role, but Clay shaped the speakership into a very important and influential
job. Clay received his nickname with his masterful negotiation of issues that threatened to tear the relatively new country apart. Henry Clay grew

both the North's and South's beliefs on slavery. Since Henry Clay knew both sides of slavery he was able to act as an unbiased representative for
the senate and was able to create the Missouri compromise without bias. The Missouri compromise included a solution to the dispute caused by
Missouri wanting to become a new slave state. Largely through the efforts of Henry Clay the amendment was accepted by the House. Missouri was
authorized to submit a proslavery constitution and Maine was admitted to the Union. The Missouri constitution was presented to Congress for
approval in 1821. It included a paragraph requiring the legislature to prevent the immigration of free blacks into the state. The antislavery faction in
Congress objected to this provision and a compromise bill, often called the Second Missouri Compromise, was passed on March 2, 1821. This
measure forbade Missouri to limit the rights guaranteed to all citizens by the federal government, meaning it could not ban the entry of free blacks into
the state.
