After the adoption of the Constitution nothing oc- curred to test the strength of the government or strong- ly excite fears for its perpetuity until the session of Congress of 1819 and 1820. A bill was then pending in Congress to admit Missouri as a State. The ques- tion of prohibiting slavery within the limits of Mis- souri and in all the territory ceded by France to the United States, was discussed with great interest and violence in Congress and throughout the country. Public meetings were h...eld, State resolutions were passed, and memorials were presented to Congress affirming and denying the power of Congress over the subject of slavery and the justice of its exercise. An excitement was produced that in extent and intensity [20] had had no parallel since the adoption of the Consti- tution. The violence of the agitation produced the most profound solicitude and alarm. A compromise was effected by which Missouri was admitted into the Union without restriction, and sla- very was prohibited in all the territory north of the line 36 30'.
