What was the Missouri Compromise and what long-reaching impact did it have?
Describe Northern uses of Puritan imagery during the Missouri Compromise debates
and Southern responses to these arguments.
Your Answer:
The Missouri Compromise was when both Maine and Missouri wanted to enter into the
Union. The government was already equaled out as far as the amount of slave and free
states. The only resolution that they could come up with was admitting Maine as a free
state and Missouri as a slave state, but it would outlaw slavery above the 36 30 latitude.
Northern Puritans turned the words of John Locke from what he had originally he had
meant about a city on a hill, the elect, wilderness, and the covenant into what it they
believed it meant for that time. The city on a hill turned from the Massachusetts colony
into the United States itself. The Puritans now believed that the elect meant those that
were wanting slavery abolished, and the covenant wasn't so much with God anymore
but with the future generations. Finally, the wilderness they believed in was slavery. Now
the Southerners responses were well thought out. Many of them were lawyers so they
argued using the law and the constitution to defend why slavery was right in their
opinion.
Excellent work summarizing the major points of the presentation here with concrete
examples.
