How did the Missouri Compromise spark or ignited sectionalism within the United States.

History
1 answer:
mote1985 [20]3 years ago
6 0

Sectionalism was very much a part of the Missouri Compromise, with two main sections of the country -- North vs. South -- divided over the issue of slavery.

The Missouri Compromise (1820) admitted Missouri into the Union as a slave state with Maine being added at the same time as a free state, to keep the balance of slave and free states equal.  The Missouri Compromise also prohibited any future slave states north of the latitude line 36 1/2 degrees north of the equator in territories of the Louisiana Purchase, with the exception of Missouri (north of that line) being admitted as a slave state.

A couple decades later, that sectional debate was sparked still further by the acquisition of lands from Mexico after the Mexican-American War.  The Mexican Cession was the large region of land that Mexico ceded to the United States in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848.  It included territory that would later become the states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of what would become Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming.  The Mexican Cession reignited tension on the issue of slave-holding states vs. free states.   Since the Missouri Compromise had specified only the Louisiana Purchase lands with its  36 1/2 degrees latitude dividing line, new debate arose over whether territories in the Mexican Cession territory would be slave or free states.

Tamiku [17]
The depression originated in the United States, after a fall in stock prices that began around September 4, 1929, and became worldwide news with the stock market crash of October 29, 1929 (known as Black Tuesday). Between 1929 and 1932, worldwide GDP fell by an estimated 15%. By comparison, worldwide GDP fell by less than 1% from 2008 to 2009 during the Great Recession. Some economies started to recover by the mid-1930s. However, in many countries, the negative effects of the Great Depression lasted until the beginning of World War II.

Reil [10]

Answer:

Platt Amendment:

authorized the United States to intervene militarily in Cuba.

Explanation:

The Platt Amendment was attached to the Army Appropriation Bill of 1901 specifically on March 2, 1901.  It was a treaty between Cuba and the U.S. which allowed the U.S. to intervene militarily to enforce the independence of Cuba.  It also forbade Cuba from transferring land to any other power, except to the U.S.  The treaty limited Cuba's right to enter into any treaty negotiations with foreign governments.  It also ceded the naval base, Guantánamo Bay, to the United States, which it continues to hold till date. The treaty remained in operation till 1934, but was not kindly accepted by Cubans, because they regarde it as too much interference.

Does the second amendment allow us to own gun and carry guns regardless of how we use it
Lynna [10]
Hello there!

The Second Amendment automatically permits citizens of the United States to bear arms; however, this does not permit using any firearms or similar weapons in an inappropriate manner (such as withdrawing your weapon in a public area for no particular reason). Cases of this have been brought up in news articles and television shows various times. Generally, we can own any legal weapon that the United States Government permits, but can only carry it (concealed) in a public space if you have a license to do so.

I hope this helps!
