The Missouri Compromise 1819
I think that we should create Maine to make slave and anti slave states equal again.
Does anyone know what we should to make sure the northerners don't get mad at the South for making another slave state.
Mexican American War 1846-1848
David Willmott wanted to prevent slavery from moving inland through out the territory gained by the Mexican American War. They did this to stop the South from getting to powerful so they split half slave half free states.

I believe that we should split these states in half to stop from the gain of to much power
