Missouri Compromise?? Nullification Crisis?? Antebellum America? -

How did the Missouri Compromise and the nullification crisis demonstrate increasing sectional differences in antebellum America? Can you help explain what all these events were and how they are linked? I m so dumb when it comes to history... in one ear and out the other. I know that South Carolina stood alone during the crisis (enacted a tariff that declared the tax on imported goods null and void in the state after february right?), and several other southern states states passed resolutions condemning its action. Was the nullification a step towards disunion? Then a Force Bill was authorized by Congress in Andrew Jackson s to in response to S. Carolina s tax tariff allowed for him to use army and navy to collect custom duties... Didn t Jackson firmly believe in the state s rights and limited government? But so willing to go to war.... What war? On who? And the Missouri compromise had to do with Missouri wanting to form a constitution of their own in preperation for admission to the Union as a state, right? Wasn t the compromise part having to do with the population of Missouri s slaves wanting to be free? So they divided the state into free areas and slave areas? And what the heck does antebellum America mean? How is it all connected? Here;s the question I need help with: How did the Missouri compromise and the nullification crisis demonstrate increasing sectional differences in antebellum America? I think I already said that. HOW DOES IT ALL CONNECT? Someone please help.

You might try the history section. I think this one was misclassified.
