Missouri Compromise
Not battle, but a debate. The Missouri Compromise of 1820.
Northern States abolished slavery between 1777 & 1804.
Northern States abolished slavery between 1777 & 1804.
The Supreme Court's sentence stated near or less followings: - Dred Scott was a slave and then no US citizen. So he had no right of appeal to the Federal Justice; - his stay in Territories where Missouri Compromise had forbidden the slavery meant but nothing because the Compromise had been void and without effect since its formulation in 1820, as the Congress had no power to legislate on slavery in the Territories; - according to this thesis, the Territories were and remained open to any form of exploitation, with or without the slavery; - The Missouri Compromise had been totally unconstitutional and unconstitutional would be any future Congress's attempt to interfere about the matter of slavery in the western Territories. That led to a huge raise of opposing and violent reactions both in the North and South, which neared the Nation to a conflict between the States.
It made it much more difficult to create new slave-states.
Slavery was abolished in the United States territories in June 1862. Any new territory was not to have possession of any slaves after this date.
Southerners opposed the Wilmot Proviso because it sought to ban slavery in territories acquired from Mexico, which threatened the balance of power between slave and free states in the U.S. They believed it went against their rights to bring slaves into new territories and feared it could lead to the restriction of slavery in existing states.
The conflict over slavery in the United States was primarily about the moral and economic implications of treating humans as property. It also centered around the balance of power between free states and slave states, as well as the debate over whether slavery should be allowed to expand into new territories.

The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states
The decision had a significant impact on the issue of slavery as it further entrenched the practice by allowing it in new territories. It intensified tensions between free states and slave states, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of the Civil War.
The major source of conflict over granting statehood was the slavery question-- would slavery be allowed in the new state?
Slavery became the major dividing issue between Northern and Southern states in the U.S. The Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820, involving the regulation of slavery in the Western territories. This started people taking sides over whether slavery should be abolished altogether, or remain an essential right of the people.
The Mexican-American War caused an internal dispute in the United States government over slavery. The Northerners did not want slavery to spread into the new territories if they were annexed into the United States, while the Southerners wanted the territories to have the right to decide.
