claims against the Spanish govt - Deal between Secy of State JQA Sp. Foreign
Minister Luis de Onis
12Missouri 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
13Missouri 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

- 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
14The 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.
