Sectionalism = loyalty to your
region People thought of
themselves as “westerns,” “southerners,” or “northerners” – became more intense as new laws were debated
Issues: slavery, states/national rights, taxes,
Missouri Compromise The government tried to keep a balance
between free and slave states If the balance was uneven, it would make
it difficult for the smaller side to pass laws in Congress
Missouri was admitted in as a slave state, Maine was admitted as a free state
Banned slavery north of the 36°30’N parallel for any new states (MD, KY, VA were already in)
