A+Divided+Nation+Part+Two

As events heat up between the North and the South, the social, economic, geographic and day-to-day life differences begin to escalate as new territories apply for membership as states of the Union. These growing tensions will start to boil into a roiling and insurmountable conflict between these two sections of the nation. Beginning with the Missouri application for statehood, and the following Missouri Compromise of 1820 whispers of secession and dissolution of the Union spread.

As Thomas Cobb of Georgia said in his prophetic words to the supporters of the Tallmadge Amendment proposing to have Missouri enter the Union as a free state ""If you persist, the Union will be dissolved. You have kindled a fire which only a sea of blood can extinguish."
