<em><u>It made the Mississippi River the boundary between slave states and free states. (b) </u></em>

Further Explanations:

Henry Clay was an American elder statesman and attorney general, representing in both the United States Senate and House of Representatives from Kentucky. Clay was born in Hanover County, Virginia on 12th April 1777 and started his early life as a legal advisor in Lexington, Kentucky. Clay served as the 9th U.S secretary and 7th  House of Representatives' Speaker of the United States. He led to the formation of the National  Republic Party and the Whig Party. Among some of his tremendous contributions, he played a prime role in the eradication of slavery.

The Missouri compromise was legislation that initiated admittance of Maine in the United States and as a part of this compromise, it prohibited slavery in the areas excluding Missouri. With an increase in tensions within the United States on issues related to Slavery during the 1820s, the  Congress passed a law to admit Missouri as a slave state. Missouri made it obvious that it accepted its Union as a Slave trade.  The bid of Missouri came into effect during 1820 which allowed slavery within its borders. Henry Clay proposed the entry of Missouri as a slave state in the Union in order to balance the Slave state and Free States. Clay tried to settle the issue of slavery that was then banned in Louisiana territory except Missouri.

What events led to the revoloutionary war?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Several factors summed up to produce the outbreak of the Revolutionay War. Many grievances and resentments accumulated for decades before the explosion.

Heavy and burdensome taxation after the end of the French Indian War was a motive of deep discontent in the colonies; the British crown has highly indebted after the war and levied taxes on the colonies. Together with the high taxes they were asked to pay, colonists bitterly complained about lacking political representation in Parliament; "taxation without representation" was a popular complaint in those times.

The use of local land properties and buildings of colonists as barracks if necessary by the British troops, often without consent given the laws, incensed colonists. And there was harsh treatment by soldiers and officers. These wer abuses of power.

Lastly, trade restrictions imposed by the crown policies also made colonists resentful, they wanted more opportunities of global trade.

many Americans perceived "Manifest Destiny" as benevolent, but why was it really an aggressive imperialistic move pursued at the
adell [148]
Manifest destiny was a concept that was devoid of any consideration for the lives, land and property of the people against which it was targeted. With time it came to acquire a most imperialistic bearing by embracing the proud and selfish reasoning that because America had been made great by its Anglo - Saxon heritage, this made America supremely fit and suited to extend its influence beyond its continental boundaries, that now it was the nation's manifest destiny to achieve this. Nowhere are the interests of other people mentioned.
