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.
Farewell Address by Washington--this address urged the nation to avoid alliances and getting involved in affairs not our own. This set the tone for isolationism.
Monroe Doctrine--this foreign policy stated the US would protect the Western Hemisphere from European involvement and implied the US would stay out of European affairs.
The Treaty of Versailles and League of Nations would involve the US in world affairs and bring European issues to the doorstep of the US.
Answer:
The cities in Ancient Greece were separated by hilly countryside. All the cities were near to water bodies. Rome was an inland country and situated on the banks of River Tiber. Greek art was considered to be superior to that of Roman Art.
The main similarities between Greek and Roman political structures were that both empires were made up of several city-states, both believed that the citizens needed to actively participate in politics and military service, and both favored aristocratic rule.
Explanation:
Answer:
A by causing real median household incomes to decline
C by limiting consumer choice
Explanation:
Negative effects of trade barriers (protectionism) policies include the following:
- weakening competition in the domestic market, and, consequently, incentives to improve production decsrease;
- the welfare of the population is decreasing due the rise in price of imported goods and the relative high cost of domestic goods, the deterioration of the quality of domestic goods, and the restriction of the freedom of choice of consumers;
- the country will suffer large losses due to the non-use of the absolute and relative advantages of the international division of labor and exchange.
This is confirmed, in particular, by the fact that after the Second World War, the gradual removal of trade barriers, such as tariffs and quotas, stimulated growth and increased the level of welfare wherever this happened, partly due to the expansion of the choice of goods for the population at lower prices. More importantly, trade also had a powerful beneficial effect on productivity, that is, on the efficient use of world resources for the production of economic goods.
Southern congressmen opposed James Tallmadge’s proposed
amendments to the Missouri statehood bill in 1819 because the amendments would
have made Missouri a free state. This made the amendments controversial and a
threat to sectional political harmony which was essential to achieve consensus.
