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

History

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

"If government fails, citizens are allowed to revolt.” Do you agree with this?
agasfer [191]
This question is very ambiguous. What constitutes a government failure? That is up to the reader to choose I suppose. To answer the question should it be allowed, I say yes. If the government fails to meet its people’s basic human needs such as food water and shelter I believe in fear of your own life and others around you it seems like a good last resort attempt to get what you need. In most cases I would say no but if something is threatening your or other human beings lives, then yes do what you have to do to survive.
