In the United States there have always been differences between different areas of the country. At times in our history these differences have caused major problems in how effective our national government can be because the states need two very different things. This issue was at its worst point just prior to the Civil War. This war is considered a conflict that had been brewing since the beginning of our nation.

Sectionalism has caused the United States to compromise on many issues in the period following the American Revolution and the Civil War. The War of 1812 and the expansion of U.S. territory with the Louisiana Purchase had increased tensions between the 3 areas of our country.

The Missouri Compromise
• Missouri applied to enter the union as a slave state in 1819.– Currently the Union had 11 free states and 11
slave states causing congress to be equally divided on the issue of slavery
– If Missouri was allowed to enter as a slave state it would give slave states and advantage in congress
