Question 7 • US History

What was one effect of the Missouri Compromise?

Answer
A
It was a temporary solution that did not fix the problem of slavery.
B
It became the inspiration for the Tallmadge Amendment.
C
It revealed that differences between the North and South were insignificant.
D
It permanently solved the slavery issue and ended any conflicts.

Explanation

The Missouri Compromise temporarily eased conflict by admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state, while setting a boundary for slavery in some western territories. It did not settle the deeper disagreement over slavery, so tensions returned as the country expanded. Therefore, the effect was that it was a temporary solution that did not fix the problem of slavery.
