Missouri Compromise

Monroe Doctrine

The Missouri Compromise was United States federal legislation that admitted Maine to the United States as a free state, simultaneously with Missouri as a slave state-thus maintaining the balance of power between North and South in the United States Senate.

The Monroe Doctrine was a United States policy that opposed European colonialism in the Americas. It began in 1823, however the term "Monroe Doctrine" itself was not coined until 1850.
