- What were the main arguments for and against Indian removal?

- How did the Missouri Compromise and the nullification crisis demonstrate increasing sectional differences in antebellum America?
Missouri would have ruined the balance of 11:11 free and slave states if it were to join Union in its condition of a slave state.

Although it was nullified, taxes were still being collected by Andrew Jackson.
