In a deadlocked Senate in 1819, tensions rose as Missouri attempted to join the United States as a slave state. Calls for disunion and threats of a civil war grew while many feared adding Missouri would give slave states a congressional majority. Forty years before the American Civil War started, the Missouri Compromise helped to keep the United States together but also set us on the path to Civil War. In this episode, we take a look back on the issues surrounding adding states prior to the Civil War including the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, and Dred Scott v. Sanford 1857. And of course we discuss the recent Joe Rogan controversy and the attempt to remove his podcast from Spotify. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blurredpoliticallines/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/blurredpoliticallines/support
