What was Representative Henry Clay's proposal of 1850?
"The Great Compromiser" proposed that Missouri be admitted to the Union as a slave state, which was how the state constitution was written by the Missouri convention. To pacify the North, Clay proposed that the southern boundary of Missouri be extended throught the rest of the western territory and that slavery would be forbidden forever, north of that line. This became known as the Missouri Compromise. When Missouri was admitted to the Union, Congress also agreed to detach the Maine District from Massachusetts and admit it as a free state. This protected the balance of slave and free states in the Senate.
