**How did economic changes contribute to growing sectionalism?** The economic changes contributed to the growing sectionalism, which is the interests of your own region or section instead of the nation as a whole, because Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin that allowed more cotton to be grown, which required more slaves to grow the cotton. The Northeast was all about manufacturing and trade, while the South was all about plantations, cotton growing, and slaves, and in the West, settlers wanted cheap land and good transportation.

The question of admitting Missouri to the Union divided the nation because the people living in Missouri wanted slavery to be allowed, but the people in the North wanted it to be a free state. The United States already had 11 slaves states and 11 free states. Adding Missouri as a free or slave state would upset the balance of power in Congress.

<span style="color: #e30202; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> **How did the Missouri Compromise address the issue of slavery in the U.S. territories and future states?** The Missouri Compromise addressed the issue of slavery in the U.S. territories and future states because when Missouri applied for statehood, America already had an equal balance of slave and free states. If Congress allowed slavery in Missouri, it would upset the balance of free states and slaves states. Then, Maine applied for statehood, and then Missouri could become a slave state, and Maine became a free state. Henry Clay then came up with the Missouri Compromise in 1820, and Congress accepted it. It said that slavery was banned from the Louisiana Territory north of the parallel 36 degrees, 31’, Missouri’s southern border <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">**Why did the events did in the early 1800's in Latin America concern the United States?** <span style="display: block; color: #e30202; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; text-align: left;"> The events did in the early 1800’s in Latin America concerned the United States because several countries successfully fought for their freedom from Spain and Portugal, and some European monarchies had planned to help Spain and Portugal to regain their lost colonies. Russia also concerned the United States because they entered Alaska in 1784, and by 1812, their trading posts had reached almost San Francisco. The Monroe Doctrine then closed both North and South America to further colonization. The Doctrine also showed that the U.S. saw itself as a world power. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">**What was the purpose of the Monroe Doctrine?** <span style="display: block; color: #e30202; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; text-align: left;"> The purpose of the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 was to stop European countries from starting new colonies in the Americas, and would be threatened if they did set up monarchies in either North or South America. The U.S. will not take any sides in European affairs, and will defend its republican form of government. The United States will consider it hostile if the Europeans invade the republics. The Doctrine also showed the world that the U.S. saw itself as a world power. <span style="display: block; color: #e30202; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; text-align: left;">
