What was Jefferson referring to as the, Fire bell in the Night? (1821)

History
1 answer:
Travka [436]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Jefferson had a dispute with Missouri

Explanation:

When Missouri petitioned to be admitted as a slave state in 1819, it ignited a dispute that Thomas Jefferson compared to "a fire bell in the night." But this was one fire Congress could not put out completely.

Representative James Tallmadge of New York proposed an amendment to Missouri's statehood bill gradually ending slavery there. The Senate defeated the bill because of Tallmadge's amendment. The next year, Senator Jesse Thomas of Illinois devised a compromise: simultaneously admit Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while banning slavery in most of the Louisiana Territory. Speaker Henry Clay used his popularity and parliamentary skill to win House agreement. The solution ended the immediate crisis—but only postponed a final showdown.

If you persist, the Union will be dissolved. You have kindled a fire which all the waters of the ocean cannot put out, which seas of blood can only extinguish."

—Representative Thomas W. Cobb of Georgia, 1819

What caused trouble between Virginia's farmers and native Americans?
hichkok12 [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What caused trouble between Virginia’s farmers and Native Americans was that Virginia colonists that were farmers took over more land to grow crops, mainly tobacco, and other colonists wanted to push their settlements forward in territories that Native American Indians considered of their property.

When Virginia Colonists Jhon Rolfe had success planting tobacco seeds from the Caribbean island of Trinidad, tobacco became the king of crops in the colony of Virginia and farmers needed more land to grow more tobacco.
