COMPROMISE OF 1820 (MISSOURI COMPROMISE)
The Missouri crisis of 1820 exposed a political rift between the slaveholding and nonslaveholding states of the Union.

Violence seemed a real possibility in early 1833 so Henry Clay devised a compromise that lowered the tariff gradually so that by 1842 it would reach approximately the save level as in 1816.

The bill had five provisions: 1) that California be admitted as a free state; 2) that in the rest of the lands acquired from Mexico, territorial governments be formed without restrictions on slavery; 3) that Texas yield in its boundary dispute with New Mexico and that the federal...
