The growing sectional division in the country 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.

How successful was the youth involvement in Vietnam ?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Well this was i guess you could say part of the US involvement in the cold war. They supported south Vietnam because they didn't want communism from china and Russia spreading their. So when the two together planned an invasion of south Vietnam they announced their involvement to help try and stop it. Also they got involved because they threatened that since they were an ally of ours any attempt to gain land would be met with hostile reinforcement of the area. They were losing heavy casualties and american involvement in the war was not widely supported by the public. Fighting in Vietnam was life and death. Many attacks were deadly as heavy losses on both sides tolled up. We withdrew because most of american citizens hated the war and didn't support it. So the president facing battles on the home front and facing battles in Vietnam decided to withdraw to appease the public. The effects of the withdrawal were that many young soldiers got to see their families again. Many families also were happy as with less money being funneled into the war many new buildings and public services were built. A bad part of the war was after the US left the south was invaded and they ended up with a communist government. Another effect was that the Us pride was hurt and some countries viewed us as weak.
