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

The initial diffusion of Buddhism and Christianity occurred because of difference in language.

Not many priests from western nations understand the language used in Asian countries to be able to spread the Christian teaching. Buddhism on the other hand was taught widely in their local language.
