Please review The Tallmadge Amendments and decide what it was proposing and write ONE ARGUMENT for the Northern perspective and another for the Southern perspective. What was this DEBATE REALLY ABOUT? WHAT IS THE BIG ISSUE HERE?
"Speaker of the House Henry Clay observed that the Missouri question “monopolizes all our conversation, all our thoughts and . . . all our time. No body seems to think or care about any thing else.” But as newspaper columns, mass meetings, and even mob actions both North and South testified, the debate consumed more than Congress. As Richmond newspaper editor Thomas Ritchie put it, “the whole country appears agitated by this question.”
-What is the "question" that is monopolizing peoples' thoughts, conversations and clearly agitated Americans?
"Passions ran high, and the words “disunion” and “civil war” were boldly uttered. The aged Jefferson wrote that the sudden strife woke him like the alarm of a fire-bell in the night. And Howell Cobb of Georgia warned Tallmadge on the floor of Congress that he had kindled “a fire which only seas of blood could extinguish.”
