Becomes a Nation in Revolt Over Missouri Compromise
A 1854 Indiana address decries the repeal of the Missouri Compromise as a slave expansion plot. It argues the North and South betrayed a sacred compact, recounts 1787 Ordinance and 1820 Missouri lines, and cites Pettit Douglas Whitcomb and Wilmot era pledges to uphold free territory. It claims Nebraska Kansas act overturns the compromise and endangers the Union.
