Introduction
The man in the background is Henry Clay. He was the one who proposed the idea of the Missouri Compromise of 1850. This topic is grouped in the epoch of Incivility and originated in the year 1850. The epoch of Incivility is filled with countless groups of arguments, new laws, and other agreements being formed. In response to these, South Carolina would eventually recede from the Union. But before this disastrous event happened, there had to be the Missouri Compromise of 1850. This compromise would set forth new rules regarding where slavery could be legal, as well as the newer idea of popular sovereignty, where the people of the area could decide whether slavery should be legal.
