Adams Onis Treaty (1819)
  • Hundreds of runaway slaves escaped to Spanish
    controlled Florida

11
Adams Onis Treaty (1819)
  • U.S. agrees to pay 5 million in residents
    claims against the Spanish govt
  • Deal between Secy of State JQA Sp. Foreign
    Minister Luis de Onis

12
Missouri Compromise (1820)
  • First time America had to deal with whether or
    not slavery should spread
  • Missouri wanted to become a state- but they had
    slaves!
  • Northern states were against this because this
    would give the Southern states more power
  • At this point, there was an equal number of slave
    and free states equal power in the Senate
  • Adding Missouri would give slave states an
    additional 2 votes

13
Missouri Compromise
  • At first, Missouri is denied statehood
  • But then, Maine petitions to become a state and
    they have NO slaves- allowing a chance for a
    compromise
  • Big ideas
  • Missouri slave state
  • Maine free state
  • 360 30 line of latitude would divide the rest of
    the Louisiana territoryeverything north would be
    closed to slavery, everything south would be open
    to slavery
  • First visible sectionalism in America

14
The Monroe Doctrine (1823)
The occasion has been judged proper for
asserting, as a principle in which the rights and
interests of the United States are involved, that
the American continents, by the free and
independent condition which they have assumed and
maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as
subjects for future colonization by any European
powers.
  • European efforts to further colonize the Americas
    would be viewed as an act of aggression

We owe it, therefore, to candor and to the
amicable relations existing between the United
States and those powers to declare that we should
consider any attempt on their part to extend
their system to any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety.
