Missouri Compromise
The Missouri Compromise split the Louisiana Territory with the North being free from slavery and the South being allowed to have slavery.
The issue of slavery was a rising concern and with each state entering into the Union the balance of slave and free states was skewing. With a new land mass to be concerned with, the government needed a compromise to deal with new states coming into the Union in an effort to maintain slave v. free states. Missouri was entered as a slave state and Maine entered as a free state. The compromise also set the 36'30 line splitting Louisiana Territory. The compromise would last until 1850.

The Berlin Conference is a rather controversial time in the imperialist era of the late 19th and 20th centuries. It was a meeting of the most influential European countries to split up the African continent based on the desires of the colonizers. This resulted in major problems that have lasted till this day due to these colonies and eventual countries being created with no regard to the existing cultural divides present in Africa already. As a result, the Berlin conference caused the fracturing of tribes and forced the union of enemies. Overall, the conference benefited the European colonies at the expense of the African people.
